This is so naive and childish. I've seen plenty of fantastic crowd funded projects get shit canned because they were never able to build a following large enough to provide adequate funding. Inatari is not a huge developer and any loss of income due to leaks is not guaranteed to recover. Most crowd funded projects don't make a lot of money, if you make a few thousand a month you're one of the top earners and that's before the cut taken by the crowd funding services and taxes. N_Taii is one of the most successful developers in the space he shares with Inatari and he's straight up admitted that due to how much comes off what he earns he makes minimum wage. No amount of ranting and raving from you will change the simple fact that leaking hurts smaller developers.Can these " supporters " stop acting like holy knights with a moral ground? I'm pretty sure you're aware you're on a pirate website that has a sole purpose is to give games like this the attention that it needs ( if it's actually good ) and deserves it.
Leaking it once or twice wouldn't be such a detriment to the author ( knowing it happened here before ) because people who are interested in supporting it wouldn't stop regardless knowing they help the artist create an art that they do like.
It will bring new people to try and support the artist whether it would be monthly or whenever it releases hence why i dont really understand the people who supposedly " supported " inatari thinks that leaks are always such a bad thing.
Leaking for the first day or a few days if there are ( levels/tiers to the patreon artist would definitely destroy the game for the artist, but a week or two of waiting while these " supporters " talk about moral ground on how its so wrong to share the game to the public is so off to me. ( You either leak it or you don't, you dont have to post about it acting as if your intention is to help the artist nobody wants/needs to hear it.)
TLDR: If the game is good enough to be recognized it will succeed regardless of the setbacks it has which you guys call it " leaks " Only reason why people are mad is how long public release takes ( 1month? ) which brings people to play the game one time and completely drop it until the next update comes which doesn't really help the artist as the people of the public leading towards losing interest or and wont be new supporters.
Y'all can wait a few weeks and if you can't do it without having a temper tantrum then that's a you problem not a me problem. People who find this topic that are actually going to support him will do so regardless of whether or not the update came out early or if it come out when the developer scheduled it to.
