Life and death, in one hand, if you can believe it, he said that if F95 reached a 5-star review, it would allow the mod that was created to fully access all the content, but in the other hand, seeing the well-deserved reviews it has, apart from its "way" of preventing Patreon content from being "shared", not only is the first point difficult to achieve, but now it will be difficult for it to be shared, since if it isn´t a version of patreon and that with limitations, each public version is more complicated to access full content and taking into account that the art isn´t the most impressive or striking, well... this project along with the other one he is working on until they´re complete I doubt there will be a version that has access to all the content.
Now, although the price is something that everyone sees and defines in a many ways, except for this project and recently his brother, I didn´t know this dev, so in my opinion, to be his first works (if he had others, well in advance I apologize for the ignorance) if it is a little high, since you first make a name for yourself before you can charge for it.
