As far as I've observed, with the exception of the Dean Athallah guy, the majority of the months this year saw each update being released only on the day the lowest tier Patreons got it.But that would depend on an honor system among the Patrons. There is no honor among pirates.
Seriously, there is no way that a plan like this could be enforced. Violating it would not be against F95 rules. And catching an offender on Patreon is extremely difficult.
What would the punishment be? Facepalms? Extreme condemnation by posters? Do you think the leakers would give a damn?
And there would be people here who would suck it right up.
I want these developers to prosper, but nothing will stop the leakers or the cries for heroes.
And while I can't guarantee this system will work and all, the fact is anyone could leak it right now, so the risk is always there. We could try this system out for the upcoming year and see how successful it is (whether it correlates with less early leaking or not. That is, assuming that the game isn't finished before 2025).
