U-huh, filthy piretes ruining it all? Really?Because it will be leaked, people will beat it before Steam release and most won't even bother supporting dev after.
People nowadays aren't paying for playing games, they pay for a novelty. Like sheep buying new COD or FIFA every year just because it's new and "every cool kid now playing it". When hype dies no one cares anymore.
First - I said "releasing for his patrons", not making it free for everyone. Patrons ave him money specially for that - for the game.
Second - those who pays for fifa/cod every year I dont wan't to judge. Some people are just so dumb enough, so let them suffer their imbecilic behaviour. And about access early=not paying later - yeah, half of steam early acces titles says hello.
