Hello everybody,
what a long, strange trip this has been. I started this blog about four years ago, as an accompaniment to the uploads of my adult video game playthroughs on Xvideos.com, then pretty much gave up on it once uploading to Xvideos became a real hassle due to both internal censorship and an endless stream of external bogus copyright claims (which, fortunately, at the time were still sensibly recognized by Xvideos as bogus and denied).
Today (end of 2024), I find myself having experienced the full wrath of Big Brother in the zenith of the digital age. My Xvideos account, featuring more than 1,000 hour-long videos produced as nothing but a labor of pure love (I have made exactly 0.00$ on any of these videos, whereas Xvideos have unquestionably profited from all the views), has been shut down for good due to the latest stream of false copyright claims which the site refuses to investigate - instead, they wanted ME to present them with "proof of ownership" that I presumably had to extract out of thin air, or out of my own ass or whatever. I do realize they are under much stricter surveillance today than they used to be before, but still, the absurdness of the situation is enough to shatter one's beliefs in humanity. (Well, along with many other things, of course - why should the porn industry be any different from anybody else?).
The good news is that I have learned my lesson - small-time creators should not try to mess around with big time corporations - and that, fortunately, as of now there still are smaller, more reasonable and relatively safer outlets to do the things I've been doing for Xvideos. In particular, XFreeHD, where I have been making backup copies of my stuff for quite some time now, is a smaller (and thus less targeted by copyright predators) venue which offers the extremely useful option of Private Account, where all you have to do is subscribe to view the videos, but apparently this prevents copyright bots from downloading and processing the files.

An alternate outlet is Rule34video, which is specifically oriented at cartoon / animated adult content and is therefore not as interesting to either the watchful eye of the government (since no live performers are involved in the video making) or the pirate hunters (who are typically much less interested in cartoons and hentai than live videos). I have also created an account there, and so far the only problem has been some indignation (expressed as a stream of dislikes) from people who only come to Rule34video to watch 15-second clips of their favorite anime and video game characters in compromising positions, without any patience for hour-long story-based videos where sexy animations are just one side of the story. As long as they do not try to take these videos down, though, they can spam their dislikes for all I care.
With these sites, the Patreongamer franchise can safely declare itself alive and well for the moment - though, if anything, experience has taught me that absolutely nothing is ever stable in this world. As long as I am alive and well, though, porn tubes (and even adult video games) may come and go, but the actual videos remain safe in my possession, and I shall continue re-uploading them for my and your pleasure wherever the Internet still allows to post them. For the moment, as I said, my primary outlets are XFreeHD and Rule34Video, where you can easily find the Patreongamer account and subscribe. In case of any changes to this arrangement, I shall try to reflect them here.
I have also been banned from my old Twitter account (I think it was probably because I tried linking to another porn tube that Twitter found malicious, though you can really absolutely never tell with anybody), but I have managed to procure a new one (@PatreonGamerNew) where I shall post previews for new videos, so subscribe to that as well.
Finally, I shall once again to revive this blog which has been dormant for a long time, with picture-accompanied descriptions of newly recorded episodes along with re-posts of similar descriptions for old episodes. The posts shall link to videos uploaded to Rule34Video, but not to XFreeHD (Google occasionally considers XFreeHD "unsafe", and this automatically leads to blocking of all posts that have links to the site; Rule34Video seems to be exempt from this "safeguard").
Keep on playing and watching,
Yours,
Patreongamer
