I want him to continue and I can afford it, so I pay. He produces quality content so I think his prices are fair as they are similar to EA's. I support him on Patreon now, but I don't have strong feelings about this. Sounds like you're talking about a door by Felixandresims here. 2019, but it was locked behind one of the highest tier levels on that creator's Patreon. For instance, I wanted to download a door, just a simple door, from Dec.
And yet I cannot even begin to tell you the number of content creators I've found on Patreon with content from last year that is still locked behind a ridiculous tier level. According to that post, Patreon users are welcome to charge a fee for 'early access' to their content, but that it's expected the content to be released to the public within a few weeks.
It just irritates me SO MUCH when I find something really nice and I can't download it because it's locked behind a Patreon tier level from months or even years ago.
