wasting their mega cap in several cases could reflect negatively on us as some sort of publicity stunt that is both foolish and beneath us.
Exactly, also a joke is supposed to make you laugh, but this is as much the fault of whoever released this and the "moderator" that put the links in this thread to waste those people's bandwidth.

(I was lucky to look for mod walkthrough and did see it was an "Aprils" joke, then read the forum, but I will be pissed off if I had wasted 3.7gb though not with the devs, because the only ones that can add links here are moderators/staff and uploaders so the fault should be theirs.)

Its funny how this "joke" just changed my mind on playing one on my son today April fools day. but I was not duped as I first checked the link for the update and as a patron of the game I want a full game not a test. and you whom have done this do not understand how hurtful it is as we love the game and would wait as long as we needed to get a full update. your pleasure may have been sated with this but you villainy is that of a viper your need for attention that of a gold digger. and as in the game you too will be dumped as soon as the MC learns who you are. or may be treat you like Natasha during the pool table scene. just maybe.

A professional is someone who knows what they are talking about from experience.
This test build is a joke that contains no images or even a working executable... and even if it did, it also is lacking other key files that would be necessary to even start the test version of the episode. And the reason we are active and vocal about this even before we confirmed it was a joke, is because we have in the past released a public test build to our patreons before (that also filtered to here) and learned what a mistake it was and learned from it. Even with the vast feedback, the headaches it caused for us and players alike down the road wasn't worth it.

A professional also cares about his reputation with the community and that his word means something (even among pirates and privateers)! Getting peoples hopes up we had a release and wasting their mega cap in several cases could reflect negatively on us as some sort of publicity stunt that is both foolish and beneath us.

A professional also cares that when his trust is extended, it is returned. We have maintained a small, tight nit group of testers and occasional contract temps, but at the same time allowed some top tier patreons to rotate in as part of our tier benefits. Which is something we have to reconsider on top of likely dismissing several innocent testers who just happened to be new. All this means that now in the crunch time before an update we are going to have that many fewer people beta testing. Which means it could take longer or that it could have more bugs on release.

None of this is beneficial to anyone in our view. Now tell me more about what it means to be professional. If you find one that is.

The professional way to handle this is. First do not make any statement about your inner circle problems...This is a "PIRATE PORN SITE" or more like "Patreon 1.5" now. Second, never say that you delay something because of your inner circle problems. Three this is a "PIRATE PORN SITE" or more like "Patreon 1.5" nobody cares about your reputation or inner circle problems all of us are here to pirate the game"IF the game is good people will become patreons even whit out your exclusive tier list" And whit a little bit of luck leave this site and defend the game on Patreon like a good contributor will do"

I Forgot about 4 ....The leak is more a F95 Problem because they future it whit out testing it ...I do hope this is a 1 Aprils joke and not the norm on this site ... I sure some people test this thing when they feature it .

I do respect what you guys are doing...I will buy the game on steam when it's out or will but the 5 dollars to share on the site.

The pirate code is "you don't steal from a fellow pirate or all loot should be equally distributed "This Honnor among thieves is very stupid... I mean how can you call yourself a pirate and attack someone that is doing what a pirate should do "stealing content" you are a hypocrite if you attack me.

And that "unplayable test version" you are speaking about, how do you know it's unplayable. You only got the dev's word to back that up...but you don't know that for sure. You can see they are mad because of the leak and want to delay the game because of it :).A leak is not someone sabotaging the code and now we need extra time to make things right. If they were professional they will have kept their mouth shut to release the game when it was ready and dealt whit the QC guy in private.

This is really disappointing if the dev has this kind of mentality when something stupid "Leaking a build" happens.
Many others are pissed off that they wasted download resources. Depends on the person but some are on a budget. Ergo why they may frequent a Pirate site. And it only takes a few reads to see other discuss it is unplayable or it corrupted their save. This impacts the credibility of the Devs. I fully understand why they can be pissed. It also forces them to deal with an issue that should not have happened. The F95 accomplice has also made this site look foolish. Not the best idea to attract donors.

There are other reasons depending on the persons POV. Some are just getting a chuckle. That is fine. However, who are you to try and deny anyone else their POV. You have yours. IMO it is BS, but you get to have it. Please have less of the 'holier than thou' routine and more of the 'It sucks for some of you but, I think it is funny' routine. Just saying.

You're actually saying this garbage after pages of pages have proven how many pirates here support the developer over what's happened? I can't even begin to say how absurd it is everything you just said there. The fact they're interacting with people not just on patreon but on a site like this goes to prove how much they care about their community that supports them and even those that can't for whatever reasons one might have. Why? Because it brings their page more attention and when people can support them financially, some actually do. Maybe speak for just yourself rather than trying to speak for an entire forum. Who made you the mascot of f95? Not a damn soul.

Wow! Way to double down on stupid! How dare the Devs be honest with us. How dare they communicate with their audience and pirate customers. Even Pirates are someone's customer. Would you prefer they lie ad nausea. Did you notice they gave patrons a heads up to stop payments since they were beyond the planned delivery date. Hmmmm. Maybe you are ICSTOR in disguise. Sorry, that was a cheap shot.

Whole cloth means false information. Please note that the 'put pressure' does not mean find. It means to let someone know their action is not appreciated. And since the conversation was here in the thread it is not butting in. If you wanted it private you would have used a PM. This is more and more you looking for attention.
""Put pressure" does not mean find." now you are just trolling harder.
The context of the sentence makes it pretty clear, that he wants us to put pressure on whoever leaked it, so the leaker is found.

Enough. You do not understand my position, that I can not understand, that someone comes into a pirate forum, and asks its community to put pressure on another community member so he can identify who leaked his game. It just doesnt matter to me, what state the leak is in, as long as it is playable. And a QC version should be playable, otherwise the whole QC would be pointless.
And in this case, the discussion about state of the leak is irrelevant, as it is an April fools joke of the mods.
Got that in the message where my report for an usable version was rejected
"Unfortunately, your recent report has been rejected: Post in thread '[VN] - Where the Heart Is [Ep. 22 Test] [CheekyGimp]' - Happy April First, Fool!"
