Where's what they said on Discord.

Hey everyone! We want to say some stuff about the F95 situation that seems to go around. People have started to put things in our mouth so we want to make this clear:
- People on patreon/SS help us a lot, without them we wouldn't have the donations-pics channel that is open to the public. Thanks to them we can share things like Jaiden's comic with everyone. The only thing we really keep for them is the dev-notes and sneak-peeks. And of course we can keep working on the game thanks to them.
- We're not against F95 or people wanting to get the game early, but we have put so much effort in this update that we can't even begin to explain it. That's why we want the people that do support us to get the game a bit before public release. That timer used to be 2 weeks from patreon release , but now it's only 5 days. It's not that we want to gatekeep or that we hate the site or anything, I'm not sure where that came from.
- It will be available for everyone after those 5 days, and we want as many people as possible to play it.
That's about it, and I hope our stance is cleared. If I'm honest all we want is to finish the update so everyone can enjoy it.
If that's how he (Snats) feels then people shouldn't be on here antagonizing F95zone members lol, IDC if his discord talks shit about us, but there are people on here berating pirate site members for being pirate site members. Also they banned
chainedpanda from discord for being an F95 member openly so not sure what they want people to think about that... I mean at the end of the day it doesn't matter much, but if he's got people on here claiming to speak on his behalf berating us then some of us are going to respond to them.
Again, like I said earlier the game is going to pop up on SVS, Fap Nation, porn forums, whatever other site you can think of, even if people are nice enough to not leak it here, as those sites operate FOR PROFIT and they have every incentive to get popular games on their sites ASAP by any means necessary, with little or no advertising/attention directed to creators, and almost no means for creators to effectively engage audiences or advocate for themselves, and as soon as it shows up there it will be here shortly after. So why they've chosen to focus on this site is a mystery to me, especially considering Snats himself showed up here in the first place.
I've seen creators find out their work is here/other places without them having been aware of it before, and show up asking it to be taken down. I kindly told them that piracy is gonna happen whether they want it to or not, and at least F95 shows people how to support their work instead of stealing their stuff for profit with little or no credit like pretty much anywhere else. And these are creators who draw/create original content and have no legal gray areas to contend with as far as using Illusion products to create something. Illusion creators are lucky they have the Patreon avenue to work with, there are no Illusion based games on Steam for a reason.
Personally I think people should wait to share content anywhere as a courtesy. I've never leaked any high tier rewards from any Patreons I've subscribed to, but that's not the point of the discussion that's been happening. If these people showing up here don't speak for Snats, he should make that clear so people don't have that impression.
