I think the problem is more the way you think patreon works, Patreon is a ''support the artist" platform. You are not buying a game, you are helping an artist or a Dev by providing him money support to help, encourage him, to continue to work on his art, game or whatever he creates, developing his own skills, improving them. Creativity and originality is not something given to everyone thats desires to be an artist, there is good musician, photographer, writers, painters... and there is bad one. If you like what someone do, support him.
You are not becoming a writer because you bought a pen and paper, or a photographer because you own a dslr, same for creating a game. Skills and technic takes time to develop. Being able to concentrate on it is crucial to learn, having your head fresh to get these informations can lead too another level of creativity.
You mention Passion should be our main drives to creates...
WHY?! Is your 9 to 5 job are driven by the passion? Maybe, most of people are not! Why should we need to do it only because of the passion and not to be able to make a living out of it, why you propose there is something wrong in this? Do you know the work, the investment (money and TIME) and personnal sacrifice it need to create a game? Probably not for telling these things. Lots of good game will not be available for you to play if there wasnt supporter behind them to help continue making them.
For myself, having the financial support helps me still being passionate to create and most important, continue to do it, and i'm sure 90% of the dev out there will think the same as me.
Sorry to jump on your thread
Lewdlab but i see this kind of comment too often everywhere and it makes me sad. Thanks all supporter from patreon, Subscribestar, sponsus... and all the other that talks about our games, that's also help us, spreading the word is also a form of support! THANKS GUYS
