He plans on still releasing the update like normal after a while from what I understand.

If he goes the web route, I'll probably drop my sub.

ah okay guess then it would be more or less , how much it will cost on itch before it gets released like normal then cause I love this game one of the few I can't get enough of or wait for releases. So depending on the price id probably do itch just for this game instead of waiting.

It's a delicate balance. He might gain more subs or he might lose them.
It doesn't really affect me I usually can't afford the update day of release.

It's really not. Piracy will happen regardless. You can waste time trying to fight it or you can just focus on your game.

There's a vote of Patreons. Currently 50-50.
He is pissed that someone leaked the last update 2 days after release on Patreon.

Yeah, fuck it. I just unsubbed. We didn't even get the poll on SS and he often forgets to post there. $16 I shall dedicate to other games.

It wasn't 2 days for 0.6 to get leaked. It was at least a week from what I remember, which isn't too bad for AVN's these days tbh. He is going to end up losing more people trying to fight it. He gained a load more subs with the last update, many including myself went and subbed after downloading it here as I enjoyed it and wanted to support.

Yep, and then someone else leaked again just because people were defending the dev.
And where did that get everyone? In this situation where Bobby is considering a web version of the next update.

It matters just as much as your opinion. You stated yours, I stated mine.

If billion dollar industries can't fight piracy, indie adult VN devs certainly should not try. Especially if it compromises their product and damages public opinion.

So the East block subs are still rising on the devs patreon - Even with the game getting leaked. Almost every single game gets leaked here anyway. Its only how long it takes, not if. Yet the dev asks patrons if they want to be screwed over by only doing streaming releases... And around half agree lol. Talk about simps! There's also ways to rip the web version anyway.
The VN itself, to me has really gone downhill. The relationship stuff while never great, started quite promising, now its cliche and forgettable. Even a character gets sidelined after more lies from the dev, of them being promised to be in many scenes. Tease and lewd scenes went backwards and no longer came from normal situations. After one of the best starts to a VN I've ever seen, what a shame to see it fall off.
I've been saying this dev has been doing some manipulating things along with lying about plenty of stuff for a while. His ethics and morals change on a dime. One time he's courteous and giving, the next hes a snake in the grass with no hesitation in screwing people over. I've seen this directly from my interactions with him and other members while seeing what he does on patreon. From the fake virus to the pup virus, ignoring platforms, telling people about his fake fantasy life, month long delays or more after saying a release is basically done. Its just one thing after another with him. Now crippling his patrons and forgotten SS members to try not to have his VN leak straight away.
If it was just a couple things here and there its fine but all the issues are well into double digits with him in only a couple months. He doesn't seem like a dev people should trust. I'm not going to keep being toxic and will stop posting in this thread. I think slowly others will start to come around and see his facade. I hope he changes and starts being honest with everyone

I have seen this before, devs start out really nice and accommodating and then once people start giving on Patreon or where ever the devs behavior starts to change. Slowly at first as to not scare people away from giving but honestly once people start giving the dev pretty much knows they are hooked and not likely to stop giving and so can pretty much make whatever excuses for the delays or the reduction in quality.
I honestly blame both the devs and the community of people donating. STOP DONATING automatically, I have. I only give to projects that have been out for awhile and have consistent quality and releases or just to completed projects that I have played and appreciate. Those that blindly or stupidly donate to people before getting an update that is quality are hurting the community as a whole. Why would a dev push themselves if they are getting paid either way? Why would they care about the project if its just a money maker and they are making money without having to do much with the project?
Its really simple, stop believing lies devs tell. Stop donating when all a dev has are excuses. Stop donating when release after release after release is delayed for bs reasons or the quality of the releases continue to go down hill. Once people use their brains and stop donating to devs that give them very little to donate for we hopefully will get some better devs that actually WORK for the donations.
