Oh, I get your point, but I've stopped bothering to point out the flaws. Those who already understand, do. And those who don't? I'm not about to explain it for the millionth time, not after hundreds of posts have already broken down what's wrong with this game and its developer. It's pointless. Almost no one reads, and everyone just acts on impulse... which is ironically fitting for an adult game forum.
Could you explain to me why it would be wrong to support this developer? The valid reasons I can find are the following:
-First, there's no current open beta (even if it has less content) to test the game's mechanics. (The beta on Steam is old.)
-Second, I have to pay on Patreon to get a closed beta on Steam (I honestly don't trust it at all). Also, with what's happening with Steam right now, nothing gives me credibility anymore (visa/mastercard drama).
-Third, and in reference to the previous point: Why can't I buy the closed beta as Early Access on Steam? (same or higher price. It's suspicious.) (He could sell the beta for 40 like EA on Steam. Why doesn't he do that? Why is it hidden on Patreon?)
-Fourth, little information. Apparently, buying the beta for $35-$36 only gives you access to the game. But do you have to pay for the characters separately? (I don't know, and no one could give me a clear answer.)
-Fifth, in reference to the previous point: I was reading what the different Patreon memberships offer, but it doesn't explain what things are clearly. It assumes that the buyer already knows how the game works. Which brings me back to the fact that the beta is old and doesn't match the current game, so how it works is a mystery.
-Sixth. More misinformation. I read somewhere that the game works like a mobile game. One of those with energy that requires you to wait a day to be able to do more things (a classic gacha game).
In short, it's not a lot of money to try it once and then cancel the subscription. But I have the feeling I'm being scammed, maybe I'm just paranoid.
Sorry for the wall of text, but I'd be interested in your perspective. This is what I've observed based on my experiences and my limited knowledge of this game.
