If people want to talk shit let them, this is a forum.
But why though? If you and everyone else is getting everything for free, why bother? The only thing you're not getting is the free stuff you want, when you want it. This reeks of immaturity.
While being a patron is "optional" now, thats only possible because of the potential and interest the game garnered early on back when this game was developed like a normal porn game, now it has reached the "milking" phase in alot of peoples eyes.
Patreon has been optional from day one and because of that, I'm having a difficult time understanding your thought process here. "Milking" as you put it, would be a scenario where the dev would paywall the game, but there's no cost whatsoever. How does your logic hold up?

Dark Cookie shouldnt care about the game getting leaked, he is making $$$$$BANK$$$$$ off of this game now, devs only care about leaks when they dont have that steady income coming in or when they fear that they are missing out on alot of money because of detractors.
This is incredibly selfish and flawed logic all around. Darkcookie uses the money to pay the people who work for him, as well as supporting his family. How much he makes isn't yours or anyone elses' business. It's thinking like this that makes me believe that you're probably a lot younger than 16 years of age. No adult, or rational individual would be concerned with someone elses's money, based on a product that they're getting for free. Again, it comes back to people not getting what they want for free, when they want to get it.
The game is leaked by paying customers but what should be noted is the paying customer is a pirate first and foremost, the only reason they paid in the first place was to stop other people from having too, thats the whole point of this site, a community that bands together to steal content for minimal pay, why should 100 people pay 100 times when 1 person can pay 1 time for 100 people?
One person paying one time is the correct way to do things. Anything else is theft. It's not a difficult concept to understand.
A paying customer is exactly that, a paying customer. They're doing things right while others are stealing. You make it like there's some kind of moral high ground or righteousness to theft. You're not the starving masses all banding together to steal food. You're on the internet, with your pc or phones, stealing other people's work, while complaining it's not done fast enough...
Instead, why not 40-50 or even 80 people get together and throw 50 cents or a dollar in each month to pay for the game? I'm betting people won't because they'll say it's not worth their time or effort to do so. The same people who are criticizing devs for running their business the way they do.
I'll go on record to say this much. I've browsed the threads and I see some business practices that I don't agree with. I see some games have high-cost monthly fees in the range of $30-50. If I was to see a game for $30-50 and it was completed? Then sure, it's not that bad. But paying that kind of price for a half or even a third of a game is just silly. Summertime Saga isn't any of that.
lmfao that isnt "the way of life", thats the way the dev wants it. Thats the problem with fanboys or dickriders (not saying you are or arent) you guys just assume "well the dev is doing it this way so this is whats right". Thats a very naïve way of thinking. People who are "content" watching a guy doodle are pretty much losers, i dont give a damn about watching some stream. I want Elder Scrolls 6, idgaf about watching Todd Howard walk around his office and talk to the art/dev team.
But it is the way of life, and if that's how the dev wants it? then so be it. What's your alternative? Post on the forums and insult the game, then criticize the cost or the time it's taking to complete? How will that change anything? People like that are just pissing into the wind.
And saying that the people who watch the stream are losers? Or is it that the people who sit on a pirate site and complain that their free stuff isn't being made fast enough are? Really think about that. You don't care about the process, you just want your damn game, yes? Does that sound like an emotionally and mentally mature individual? I'm trying to be as polite as possible here, but you're making this waaaay too easy.
That is streamer 101 nonsense, interact with the audience, make them feel apart, develop a parasocial relationship. I went through that phase when I was 16 with Twitch Streamers, thank god I wised up quick. All I see when I read that now is a bunch of losers with nothing better to do than to try and develop relationships online, which is a terrible substitute for actual human interaction or self betterment. It isnt healthy personally or financially, a 1-sided toxic relationship.
How is interacting with the people who watch the streams losers? Again, you're on here, complaining about free stuff. Seriously, are you reading what you're typing? And again, I find it extremely difficult to believe that you're older than 16...
If you have better things to do with your life, then why are you on her complaining about a game that's not being finished fast enough? It seems to contradict the apathy you're trying to convey.
The best thing you, or anyone else can do is to just stop posting stuff like this. Sure, you're free to post whatever you want (within reason) but the time you're wasting on something you have zero control over is just silly. If you say that you're older and you wised up really quick, then why are you still here posting stuff about something you can't change? That sounds more like you're here to fill the free time you have in your daily life.
This probably sounds like I'm attacking you or anyone else who thinks like you, but I'm just saying to let it go, and to go and fill your time with other games and activities until it's finished. Because if it's as you and the others are saying, it may be several years before this game is done. Are you looking forward to wasting literally years of your lfie complaining on a pirating site? Does that sound like a person who "wised up"? A loser is someone who complains about stuff they have no control over, day after day, while hoping that their complaints will somehow change the outcome on a site that has no influence over the thing they want to change. A loser is crapping all over the game and calling the Patreons losers, the same people who supply the game and the wallpapers to the people who spit on them...
In any case, I get the feeling that I'm trying to get a point across to people with their fingers in their ears going "LALALALA, I can't hear you!" So, I'm going to end my responses on this matter.
Best of luck.
