come on! at the end of the day they get a way bigger audience and get paid more.
was it not for this site then
A I wouldn't have played any of these games at all. (so no money for any dev)
B I don't pledge monthly because I think its absolutely bonkers to spend 12x 10$ for a year (most games have an average of 10 dollars minimum)
C I buy the devs a coffee every now and again when I can, this will have to be enough because I cannot afford more.
At the end of the day these games are side projects and I think when you are talented with a proper story to tell then the money will come. some devs get 10000+ a month. Seeing how fast this game is uploaded will only mean this dev will get more exposure and thus more money.
UNLESS: he becomes bitchy and pissy and he loses the goodwill of his (future) patreons.
but hey what do I know, I just made my first post
