What's the question? If you say they can make so much money by releasing on Steam, why don't they do it?Look, I'm pretty certain launching on Steam will boost the dev's income 10 fold if not more with Steam's IAP system. Patreon's payment processing is monstrous, the idea of linking one's Patreon account in the game is unintuitive and that is enough to thwart a big chuck of impulse customers, not to mention that Patreon is blocked in a lot of countries.
It makes absolutely no sense that adding an extra distribution platform is detrimental to the income.
I don't care if you use wishlist or not because that is not the point, I was saying that at this very moment this game has even more wishlist than Stellar Blade, the fact alone has some weight to it.
I know it's annoying to keep asking this question, but I have to say it.
