Put the latest version of the game on a pirate site, so you don't have to pay to play it... so you can go over to Steam and buy it to support the dev?
Right, well, I have a bridge in an Alabama bayou to sell you. I get the perspective of waiting for a dev to prove themselves as someone who completes their projects, etc. But doing what you seem to be asking is a sure way for a developer to make practically no money and ultimately give up on their desire to create games for a living.Honestly, I think all devs should follow the policy of having the latest release paywalled for a time, only after a month or so finally releasing it over here. Otherwise, what incentive does anybody here have to support the dev over there? You can literally get exactly the same thing for free here. It's a much less common thing that someone supports a dev b/c they're a fan of that dev's work, especially if something here is a dev's first project.
The only real benefit to buying elsewhere — again, unless you're supporting b/c you're already a fan — is that you would get access to the content earlier. At least let the devs make the money they can so they can make progress toward becoming independent and fully support themselves with their creations to go full-time doing what they love.
