Darkness95000, you raised an interesting query about the legality of the version in question. For clarification, the version that I am currently playing is an older Patreon variant, and yes, it is indeed legal to uplaode gameplay of. This is mainly because I haven't signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) or any other contract that would restrict me from accessing or distributing gameplay of this version.

However, while it's technically permissible, whether it's ethical or not is a nuanced issue. The developers may have differing views depending on their perspective. If they believe that the videos are acting as promotional tools, contributing to the game's public recognition and appeal, they might be more accepting. Conversely, if they perceive these videos as discouraging potential supporters or undermining the game's exclusive elements, they might be less enthusiastic.

Additionally, it's important to consider the potential impact on the community of supporters. When developers take action against such videos, it can sometimes deter the supporters. Depending on the level of their commitment, these individuals may choose to withdraw their support, which could lead to a loss of revenue for the developers. Moreover, such actions could potentially generate negative publicity, further impacting the game's reputation and success.

In conclusion, the issue you raised is multi-faceted and requires careful consideration of various factors. I hope this response provides some insight into the complexities involved.

so its  basically no and yes ?

It's just 'no' since it was about whether it was legal or not, and it is 100% legal. Whether something is ethically or morally right is an entirely different matter
