That's not how it works though, Patreon is the devs main income and he links to his patreon page on itch.io as well. Inform yourself because you accuse the dev of doing something wrong because there is nothing he can do at the moment to change it. Thats why youi have a modder that made the patch.
I didn't say the Dev did anything wrong nor do I believe they did. I just said they made the decisions. There are other site similar to Patreon, that they could use. Patreon doesn't have to be their main source of income. They could probably more it to another said site. But honestly it doesn't matter to me. Their choice, their game. I'm ending my end of the conversation here. lol.
