ExactlyYou know Ralx this site is actually quite nice, creators of all kinds come from here and come to here, we share what we have we play in many ways with what we have and we laught togheter most of the time. And guess what some of us even gets bucks of money from it through patreon or other site's on extra side coin. I know of creators that work hard on their games, have accounts here and get good enough cash to make a living (but not rich like ppl who worked in the big industry's but still enough) on making Adult games and thats something they want to do and love to do and continue to do. So for a game creator good or bad at it not the issue, i don't get you nor do i understand why you are hacking and whining on the players who play pirated games especially your game. If you wanna be angry on someone be angry at those who shared/hacked your games if anything and even that not much just try this little thing you can try ask nicely from them to not share your beta/alpha releases before your Patreon atleast have played them for sometime. Most people here are nice enough that they simply accept/agree to it. Many people here also support Patreon game makers, they find a pirated/shared game here, and test it out and like it and thus play it and sometimes or many times even support the Patreon sometimes a lot sometimes a little. i read about you using something to track people and i think police rather hunt raptists and real criminals than horny game buggers ahem i mean people here. (looks innocent towards rest of f9 ppl) so i am going to stop playing your pirated game and play others and maybe find some i can and want to supp have a good day Ralx!
I'm only a patreon for the h games I support due to exposure from this site allowing me to find and trial games in development. The whole pirating thing only really works if the game is complete. I don't get why some devs get mad do they think people are browsing patreon for games and willing to financially support an incomplete game they know little about with a dev they have not yet formed any trust with? I'm happy to support games and devs I like, however expecting people to pay a subscription for an unfinished product that may or may not be finished is optimistic at best and delusional at worst. It comes off as arrogant and entitled when a dev instead of asking people who enjoy the game to support them on patreon but instead expect players to financially support them, so they can continue making the game whether they enjoyed it or not. I get creators want and deserve money for their hard work, but we are not investors we are just normal people and it takes time to build a trusting paying fan base. Independent devs need to understand they are not contractors, employees nor are they releasing a complete product, crowdfunding is fundamentally built upon trust and lashing out at people in the community is just shooting yourself in the leg.
