Ways to Monetize Your Game After Patreon Ban
- SubscribeStar Adult
A Patreon alternative that supports adult content creators. If you are moving to SubscribeStar, then you don't need to adjust your models. On the contrary, make them as young as you want (too young and f95zone will ban the game though) and you will probably earn more money than if you up their age. - Itch.io
Sell the game directly or offer it as pay-what-you-want with donation options. - Gumroad
Sell game builds, bundles, or exclusive content directly to fans. - Your Own Website
Set up a website with payment gateways (PayPal alternatives like Skrill, Epoch, or CCBill) to sell your game and offer memberships. - Ko-fi (With NSFW Flag)
Accept one-time donations or monthly memberships. Ko-fi allows NSFW content if flagged correctly. - Fansly or LoyalFans
Platforms similar to OnlyFans that allow adult creators, including game developers. - OnlyFans (For Adult Game Creators)
Offer sneak peeks, behind-the-scenes content, polls, and exclusive builds. - Discord Premium (Server Subscriptions) *from what I know from other devs, this is the most recommended*
Charge fans for access to private channels, beta versions, or exclusive updates. - Steam

The people on F95 who think the developer is their bitch and that every game is written specifically for them and should be updated when they think it should be. Read more.
