I understand your argument and respect your opinion.There's so many earning more support, making VNs that get updated once a year, or doing animated videos... These devs doing 3D/VR sandboxes deserve support because it's huge challenge they're doing, this is the cutting edge of adult gaming and they get a lot of shit for it. Nobody whines so much at clicker games that earn a lot, or at recycled renpy games with low-effort AI images. Those get hyped the fuck up. You don't see anyone with a VR Hot banner in their sig around.
You want continuous cutting-edge hard-work, high-quality updates, next level shit for free. That is a very unreasonable expectation in my opinion. At this rate, in a few years there's gonna be just recycled VNs and clicker games... Streamers get $10 donos daily for someone to say hi. Meanwhile you for $10 want years worth of next level adult gaming development.... This is something niche and you should support it if you want it to continue and get better. At the very least you can stop whining, especially since you're pirating it here anyway.
Many small developers or one-man developers do so much work and create great things.
I support some of these projects, but they don't deny you further updates if you stop paying.
Here, the fans and supporters themselves have the choice.
You pay once, and if you're satisfied with the work and performance, you can keep your subscription and continue supporting the project or not.
Without consequences or exclusion.
For example, with Quest Optimizer, you pay $10 once and continue to receive your updates for free, and this developer also does great things, right?
But as I said, that's just my personal opinion.
That's why I'm happy to continue supporting projects that are open with their fans and are grateful for even the smallest support, whether it's a one-time payment or a subscription renewal.
The developer behind VR Hot does great things, and I commend him for that. He definitely deserves support for continuing to create something so beautiful ^^
