Piracy is why people don't bother becoming creators.

Good luck ─ I'm rooting for you!！

Thank you <3 At a rough guess I've spent over 14k in the past 2 years and most of it out of my own pocket as rent etc costs me 1.3k a month. Yesterday I calculated that Fiverr alone from 54 orders cost $5618, before fees etc. the rest are others outside Fiverr like the 3 digital paintings, voice actresses, other artists etc. Patreon takes around $150 in fees and payment processing each month. Even then with everything, it's not so much for me as it is having more good content and creators in the community. People complain about not having any good or niche content yet it comes down to this and motivation. The thing about yesterdays upload that hurt me the most was that they extracted the game files, put together the maps and made gif's of them. As a creator seeing your world being shat on without someone giving a fuck really breaks the motivation of game devs. It also means they could've been seeing things they shouldn't and it sucks the life out of you when you're hyped on seeing your fans reactions to it.

If you can do right in the world, always do it if not for yourself but others. Especially those to come!

And what you're asking for is not even a bank breaking amount your asking for either. :|

Yeah you invest so much, but then when people pirate you don't get a Return of investment and are essentially losing money :|

I feel bad for what happened to you, but I still firmly believe that more people are willing to support genuine works. Stay strong bro, we will always be on your side.

I can take action depending. Some places are harder than others to take content down. I know some other creators who can't be bothered and report entire caches as child content and those get taken down near instant, investigated and sent to the police from what I understand. I've had to report it a few times that way because it actually had my content uploaded in drives with that sicko crap. I'm not actually sure what's happened after but it might be why there aren't as many cache's that way and most pirated and sold content are now on discord channels. For the most part if I end up taking legal action it means I'd stop making content because I'd have to focus on that instead. It'd depress me to no end.

Hang in there dude, the freeloaders that want the premium content are relentless loser bums. Stay strong and keep fighting the good fight! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbAbIz_BAuk

wished there was a way you could take legal action some people sadly only responds to discipline its no different from stealing

"But you shouldn't be complaining, you hide it behind a pay wall! We're making you seen by the community, and you're getting exposure!" Also pirates: "Why is there such shit content in the community. I can never find anything that I like?!"

Piracy is a disease.
