We seem to have parallel universes…there is one where creators do special releases to patrons, like I did a few days ago. And there is another where the same releases hit all the game sites and forums. Naughty Magic has done just that, and I had no idea you jump universes so fast! Apparently the Patron-only releases were being circulated widely on multiple free sites within a day of their limited release to Patrons. So it seems a bit pointless to hold back the “official” release to my $2 buddies.
This is the world we live in, so no drama. Still, it leaves me with an issue to resolve. How do I say thank you to you guys, my supporters? I really appreciate your patronage, and the money you provide is essential to help pay for the stuff that goes into my games, so I want to keep you happy!
I had hoped to thank/reward you with early releases and limited editions but it seems those options are not really open to me. So what would you like to see instead?
a) Is no reward necessary, as you are actually sending me money as a thank you for the game?
b) Is it enough just to know you are vital to helping me make this game?
c) Are patron only posts and progress pics important?
d) Is there something else I can do?
e) All of the above?
Any and all feedback much appreciated.

Just leave it as it is. It works for most game developers. I found your game on one of those sites, played it, enjoyed it and came here to make a patronage. Others will do the same. And it makes no difference for your existing patrons. Do not put too much time in questions like this. You can better use this time for your next release. I think that regularly (weekly) progress-reports (with a nice pic) are important to keep your patrons happy. Just do that and do not change anything else.
