Hello everyone.

A few months ago, I was informed that a site "pumpais" all the original work that I realize for all my patresons ... And it is clear that the arguments of people who do that, are very strange:

- The creator uses assets from other games that do not belong to them.

- the prices practiced are abusive, the artists are thieves.

- the NSFW content is not of public utility, it should be free (WTF?)

- ...

These few examples are not directly addressed to me, but they are addressed to all artists offering content behind a paywall.

In addition, to clarify my situation and respond to this kind of debility:

- My work is based on creating and buying assets.

- My videos based on the Skyrim engine are available on request via this form for free. They are also available on other streaming sites

- My works are to propose a few months after their diffusion on Patreons (there are exceptions) on my account FA and TWITTER.

Now, the questions I ask myself ... Do I have to answer to these people? My work is too expensive? 

Even at $ 1 the content of my page would have been looted.

What actions to take against that? Nothing... Patreon does not offer solutions to this massive hacking of its users, who continues to be looted more and always better, without it disturbs the host of the pirate site, or Patreon.

As much to tell you that my morale took a hit, especially when I see that this site and all his users, does not seem to worry about bad what they does...

Thank you for reading me,

~ Etan.

I'm really sorry to hear that. Can you more in depth to what exactly happened? What's the website exactly because I'm sure you can send a "cease and desist" suit to the website.

Don't take it to harshly. I like to think that the people that use those sites are like video game pirates; they weren't going to pay anyway so it's not a real loss so much as just them being assholes. Anyone who actually wanted to support you and other creatives wouldn't be using those sites anyway :/

Oh, it is bad! But I wish you good luck and all the best, bro!!!

Dont listen to comments of other people that dont pay you, they feel entitled to judge everything even though they dont support anything and get mad when things are not free, those are called "choose beggars" and are a cancer to any content creator like yourself, be calm and take an action if you so desire, we are still here.

A website ending with .party redistribute for free all the work published on patreon by me and many other artists. I have already try to speak with the administrator of the site but my message is remain unanswered. What makes me sick are the comments that can be read on their forum.

That's what I thought at first, but given the extent of piracy, it's no longer just a game, but a monstrous database on which we find ALL the content of patreon NSFW or SFW . We can even find the rewards that I send you at the end of each month by private message. if it were just a few pictures, it does not matter, but this looting organised, and who continues to find solutions to go further in the theft of content (including recovering the content publish on discord) is a terminal phase cancer. Autorised this kind of thing, is betray all those who support the work of the artists.

You're right, but believe me it's like receiving a slap and tender the other cheek to receive a second slap. Rest assured, despite being angry, I will continue to distribute my work as I have always done ;)

The folks who run these sites are entitled assholes making excuses why it's ok to steal folks hard work. They have hit so many artists I know. Try and not let it discourage you too much, they are not worth it :-/

These people just do not know how difficult 3D programming/rendering is. I made similiar experience when I created the Sachsenring-Track for F1 Challenge. Since I worked at the Sachsenring myself I obviously wanted to get details and original template Images. It took several months to get it Right. But people think such Things just a week or so >_>

Its not much that I can say or do but I can at least keep supporting you the little that I am able to give.

I thank you very much for your support, it makes me very happy ;)

I just read this message and I understand how you feel. My Patreon account was hacked, too and all my posts were copied and shared on a website created and used by criminals. And the Patreon support only send me some basic "we are working on a solution" message, when I asked for help. I understand, that you are very angry now, I have been very angry, too. But don't forget that there are many true patrons that love your work and truly support you. Don't give up or lose motivation, because of a few mean people.

I'm sorry to hear that you are also a victim of this hacking... :-( I hope that quick fixes will be found because this hacking has existed since 2015 ... unfortunately, today the scale of this hacking is taking on proportions enormous. My message was written under the effect of anger, but I keep in mind that there are awesome people who support and appreciate my work, and even if it's difficult, I have to go beyond. . Thank you for your support ;)
