Dear Patreons, Thank you for supporting content creators, because it's our incentive to continue, and for me to buy assets for the game. Not all of us are out to make a massive profit, but enough to just try enjoy life. Also please do not mention the site this is aimed at if you know it. 2 weeks ago someone uploaded my entire Patreon for free, this is in response to it.
Tsumi v1.3 will posted soon after this post when it finishes uploading.
TLDR (Patreons): Thank you for loving my work and supporting me. It really does mean a lot considering as Patreon is now my only source of income, especially in these trying times. You are all seriously awesome and I cannot thank you enough! I would rather earn a small living being able to let my creativity show than working in offices or for others earning 100k+ a year again. Don't mind the below, unless you're planning on pirating or want to read why my Patreon income is so important to me, and why I don't care for earning that much anymore. The reason this post is also a bit.. direct is because it is in response to a website that uploads entire Patreons posts, and this post will be uploaded there too the next time someone joins the $5+ tier with piracy as the intent. I am aware it's probably going to make me a target, and some people may unpledge because of it also (hopefully the pirate who's stupid enough to give his paypal to a bot lol). So if you don't plan on pirating, or wanting to know a tiny bit more about me. I wouldn't recommend reading past this point.
TLDR (Pirates/A very specific website some know): Short answer, F*** with me, and I'll f*** with you. I will stop making Macro/Vore content if piracy continues... because why would anyone bother? My mind's constantly in worry about it (and we're in a pandemic even). So here's what will happen if I do stop creating content, and my mind's forced to focus on piracy prevention instead and checking my stuff every single day. So if piracy continues and I'm forced to quit Giantess content:
So pirates, now that you can understand a little of just how serious I am. I guess I should explain why I would go to such lengths when most people would just give up/panic/not know what to do. I've seen your massive macro/vore thread and know it's one of you.
Why piracy of my stuff matters so much to me/Tiny life story without detail:
In short, I was born with a lot of health problems, I grew up extremely poor, had an abusive molesting father that I stood up against for my sister, my mother died of cancer when I was 22, and I live in a country I am not a citizen of that won't help me whatsoever if I run out of cash. Like you Mr Pirate, I'm at home pretty much all alone, except I have no family left and no-one who can help me. I have been alone pretty much since the day I was born. I could go on but you get the gist and this isn't a pity post. Now obviously I've been through a lot and I should be dead... except I've been there, done that (god knows how many times), and overcame it. Now I wish to help others do the same and make people smile. This is why some of my characters have some form of mental illness/disability and that the player can relate to them too, why my games have quite a lot of sarcastic humour, and why I can suddenly become one truly nasty f***ker in the blink of an eye when someone deserves it. I dropped out of high school, never went to Uni because I find it a waste of time, and yet I've gotten to where I am now because of the way I think, my problem solving skills, and my compassion for others and when leading teams.
However, if I catch Corona Virus, I will most likely die because of asthma combined with Thalassemia, and that only 2 out of 3 of the valves of my heart work. I'm only 31 btw and most of my cash the past few years went into trying to help my health problems. In this trying time and pandemic, obviously income without me needing to leave the house is especially important even more right now, and the anxiety and financial insecurity really sucks. (Ps before I forget, You WILL want to buy any medication while you can (don't panic buy please), it took me 2 weeks to find an asthma inhaler here due to panic buyers sadly.)
So, this all brings me back to the question for pirates. The site you are uploading my stuff to, has no sharing options. You're uploading my stuff for free without getting anything back, and you're literally killing me. I don't know if pirates feel like they're doing something heroic, but I can't get my head around it. In the end, you're pirating for people who do not care about you, know who you are, and you're making people quit Giantess/Vore creation after they've been so demoralized. If the Macro/Vore community knew just exactly how much stuff has been pirated, expect quite a few to instantly leave too if they can't find a solution.
In the end, I am not threatening pirates. Merely warning, and hoping you can understand my situation and stance for protecting my content. And why I'd go to such extreme lengths to do something about it, and not just for myself but the community. I just want to enjoy what time I have left, our world is overpopulated and seriously sucks because everyone just wants attention or to feel special. And I'd be damn ashamed if I don't leave behind something else that helps other introvert people and makes them smile. Saving millions of dollars and saving lives that would never know while I was doing Govt work is my highest achievement, and I'll always be aiming higher.
To everyone else if you've read this far (or even wanted to read it). Thanks for not pirating, understanding, and my apologies on the harshness of the post. It is not aimed at you and I just want to be able to make content you all enjoy. I do try to make as much of it as free as I can at times without certain assets after all. Please no pity posts, or pledge increases (I am dead serious and will refund you!), I don't focus on the past let alone think about it. But now you know why I am such a direct person and can seem a bit over friendly. You don't know how to live life, unless you can make fun of yourself.
Praying for everyone, and hoping you and your families are all safe.
