I love this game and respect the hard working dev (all hard working devs who regularly updates) and want them to earn money. So I can understand their angle and respect that too. IMO intrusive or/and online DRMs will only hurt paying patrons and will drop your patron numbers. DarkSilver tried this, KsT also trying this and the results are not what they expected I believe. But decision is yours and if you really gonna add DRM in the future first ask your patrons, then decide.
I'm more than happy with 720p version of this great game, I can't be a loyal patreon supporter, and can't even pay for 1080p version, but can do one time 720p pledges time to time for showing support and as a thanks. Hope both sides understand and respect each other and nothing overshadows this experience.
And for people who wants a 1080p version, use

with the 720p version and you'll get better visuals, closer to 1080p version. With adaptive sharpening, clarity, using denoise (knearest neighbour), DPX, bloom, levels etc. you can enhance and shape your visual experience as you wish.
When setting up Reshade choose OpenGL, use the exe file in "****\lib\windows-i686\" folder, not the one in the main folder.
