Exactly, I mean, many AAA games nowadays take 4/5 years to develop, so if DPC had been silent for a couple of years and then released the whole 4 seasons of BaDIK on steam and it cost 80 dollars, I would most likely buy it and think it was worth it.
I understand why many people do it but right now I can't justify spending a shit ton of money on patreon and then having to wait 6 months for a single episode.
It makes way more sense to buy it on steam when the whole season releases, even if I don't play it there and pirate it here
