Let me clarify something:The answer is so simple and obvious and I don't get why some of you miss it completely.
You're NOT paying for the game. You support the developer, because he's not a AAA company, it's a simple guy like you and me working by himself. He can't die of hunger for 2-3 years until the game is done and you pay 10$ for it. So, it's a purely voluntary payment, to support him during development. Of course, you may end up paying 10x the value of the game, but you do it as I said, voluntarily, to support a guy you 'like'.
If you don't want that, you simply buy the game when it's done. It's exactly an early access that AAA do, for bug fixing, feature polish etc. but for a simple dev, is more about survival to finish the game.
Nothing really changed since 'old times', it just added new steps on the way, that you can just ignore. And that is because now games are not just made by big companies with a lot of money behind them, but by simple people or very small teams, working in their free time. And if it's not in their free time, but in their 'all' time, the guy needs to make a decent living, doesn't he ?
And if the guy wants the absolute last version to be available only to paying customers while he offers the previous version free for anyone, it's not such a big deal, isn't it ? People want everything NOW, free, screw the guy working his days and nights for that.
If the developer wants to charge money for his game - he can surely do that ("it is a free country" as I always say).
Hopefully it will not turn to that old story about the goose with the golden eggs - "why get one egg per day if you can get them all now" (or something like that).
The two points from my post were:
- The quality of the sex scene was dropping (like where those amazing scenes with Jade and who are all these old looking ladies, etc).
- Many games were recently abandoned and people are more careful who they want to support today.
And just to make it even more clear if Nenad A. (from now) wants to charge people for his game - I will honor his new position and will not download this game anymore (especially if it requires some "crack" by 'unknown' person/people). Of course, I will not be hanging on this thread anymore either ("what for?").
Peace, everybody.
