First, how much money do you think this game is worth?
I used Steam games as an example.
Steam games may not be as popular as this, but they are more complete than this. (Actually, of course, I searched the popular list and they are cheaper than AWAM. example, Elden Ring $59.99)
Second, I am not talking about the financial situation of the top tier sponsors.
I sometimes see people paying upwards of $70,000 for a single game item.
Third, the investment must have a return.
Now, if this is an investment, of course it has lost value and is an investment loss.
Investment involves promoting a product, receiving sponsors for it, using the money to create a finished product, selling it, and sharing the profits.
This is not an investment.
The meaning of the seven-year period is that this creator is receiving sponsorship not for his game but for his life. (His accounts are rich, but his heart is a pauper.)
Fourth, “Anyone who pays $65 per month for seven years deserves my respect because they believe in the project”, this is the first time I have heard this in my life.
The reason they deserve your respect is because they pay a lot of money. Be honest.
“This person is worthy of my respect because he believes in my project,” says only a fraud or a religious person. and you.
Fifth, do the people who sponsored abandoned games deserve respect?
Or is it stupid to say they were deceived?
Or should they remain silent for you, even though they have been deceived?
The reason I use “investment” as an example is to talk about the monetary value of this game.
And I approach it with an investment concept, not a sponsorship concept. Of course this is not common. (If this were the norm, people wouldn't do things like you did.)
This game is not worth $126.
But someone is paying that price.
However, because the standard for compensation is different (0 points in investment terms), I can say it's "a stupid thing to do," but I don't say "don't do it."
Pay as much as you can!!
