Everything said and done, I personally believe 80% of people here are genuine Fans of the Game/Series.
The dev has personally requested a 10 day embargo so that the patrons get the game first ( which is more than understandable TBH).
LEts be gents here and respect their wishes.
I would only make one request for the devs:
Make the game public after the patreons releases have finished.
Game Of thrones and HBO did the exact same thing. They realized it pretty early that you can't exactly keep stuff off of the Internet.

So they welcomed the public leaks. IT gave them free exposure and raised their popularity.
In terms of the game, Have a designated "Official" Release from the devs would be more likely to be downloaded than any "Leaks". Provided any Bugs that the patrons report are fixed ( which I doubt there would be many as they time spent in testing).
tl;dr: Devs requested a 10 day embargo for the patron releases to finish. Lets honor their wishes as we love their game.
