why do you think a lot of polish business want to offer work over here?they got payed by germanys level (which is adjusted to our tax system) but then pay taxes in Poland (where the head office is located) and pay polish taxes - so its a big amount of profit for them

PS: isn't it going extreme offtopic now?
It is but original topic is dead, the user was banned so... reporposing the thread, yay? :p Could stop though :p I will have to look into taxing locations later on when it becomes a bigger deal and I also might get to stop doing my regular day job :p

If you are just in for the money ditch all the normal incest stuff and just make any kind of fetish game, fetish people are way more willing to support you since there is not much alternatives to choose from :^ )

I have been advised that "vampire futa" is a very niche market in need of servicing. One day perhaps, but not today. :cool:

This website (onlyhgames.com) has been doing the same crap for almost a year now.
No it's not.
You get ride of the ads if you pay, but still you can download the games for free. The archive are password protected, but the password is (almost) the first thing you see when going to the site.
And also, the site find the games on its own, it's not just a copy of what is updated here.


Now you are making a few grands off donations alone (while only needing $800) and telling other how piracy for profit is bad. Good for you, Sam.
Once again, what you say isn't the truth.
Firstly F95Zone don't force people to pay, only those who want do it. While the "guy" only made paywall protected post.
Secondly, F95Zone don't ask for money to make a living, but to cover the cost. While the "guy" didn't had a single cost since he didn't even bothered to use his own links.
Thirdly, F95Zone don't just post link to stolen games. Many games are present here because the devs themselves gave the link. Many other are present because someone have effectively paid to have it. In the end few are really here without counter part for their devs. This while the "guy" only posted games that he found here, lying to his patrons by saying that he'll use their money to legally acquire the games.

Which lead to a question... You only said lies, and you said them in defense of the "guy". Why did you felt the need to do it as your first comment ever ?

Just because you got the game yourself from patron legit doesn't make it okay to share it however you want, fyi...

Oh wow! Score one for the junk filter. I am only now seeing that Mia Games emailed me after I was blasting their Patreon wall. Check this shit out...

I mean, I could pick this thing apart and wax on about all the bullshit in this email, but why bother?

Just sharing it because I figured others might get a chuckle out of it as I did.

You could sell people the very air they're breathing. As long as you put a "discount" sign on it.

For videogames, it's probably the same as long as there are tits inside.

Well if any devs have spare funds send it my way, I need a new car and money is tight. Only need about 36k to get me a cheap Porsche 996 turbo as a run around.(y)

Hell, even if we take that message at face value.

Couldn't he try to pull off a text-based game on RPGMaker?
Or use Kickstarter/Gofundme if he has a good idea for a game?
Or offer his programming/designing skills (that I'm assuming he might have if he wants to start a project) to other devs?
Or ask for a loan?

The email is 100% bullshit

Lol everybody starting somehow. And stealing is not the best way. Fine, I'm will be honest and tell. Ok my sw is not 100% legal too, but what I'm doing? I'm doing some art or something and using that sw to create something. He just get complete thing and resale it. And that is wrong. If he use maybe images from game and make comics from them. Fine, I'm ok with that, he created something, without ours permission, but hey why not.

That E-mail is just poor excuse.

Why not just write a story, start a small resonable Kickstarter to get going with a second hand gaming pc and then turn it into a patreon, disgusting mentality in that email. Always needs things they can't afford, most of us make due with what we have, and you can easily get good enough hardware to get started for a just a couple of hundred, and as the game progresses, upgrade the hardware. If he already had a few months of money he should have enough. Old Hardware hadn't stopped people before on this forum,
