why is he so sore about this though?
From what I could find, he was very active early even providing support here, then it seems he made a deal with the mods to not pirate his game lol

It seems he did his part and released an F95 version of his game here for free https://f95zone.to/threads/the-villain-simulator-v45-3-beta-znelarts.7252/post-5845232

Later I see some discussion about not keep updating the f95 version and not giving further updates for free so they pirated his game again x)
Then he dissapeared, I couldn't find more posts from him

Sounds tough. Pirates will be pirates.

Znel needs to think logically about where his game is being viewed. Does he really think people are finding his game while browsing Patreon? No, we're actually seeing it on sites like F95 and more.

well it kinda sounds to me like he's got the Corpo Mindset of "piracy = Lost revenue" instead of your mindset of "free advertising". course PR is also a factor, to me banning people for just being on a "piracy forum" seems like a bad way to win more supporters, but hey, it's his discord server. (though on the flipside of the coin, it also feels a bit naive to me to use the same username here and on your main discord account..., there's gonna be people who hate us just for being on here, whether we downloaded their game or not)

Maybe, it really depends, I've seen a few times the game devs here answering some question, giving roadmaps and gathering reports on bugs to improve the game
