It's how it's supposed to be. The pricing or w/e might have changed over time since i did it back in 2019, but back then it was support for 2-3 months or so and they treated it like you bought it so even if you stopped supporting you could still get game updates, just not the monthly report. Even now their pledge says " *You'll have access to this and future updates even after you stop supporting the project. " although i don't know if there is still a min limit. It all goes through the app though since it pulls updates from the patron version of the site, but i don't know how that works on the back end. Edit: Yeah, on the actual itch site it shows it as 'owned' so you can download it there too without the app, although i don't know how it authenticates that way since i use the app for it.So you can just use your Itch account to play as long as you had paid once?
This is one of those games i've been following since before they even had the beta/prototype of it out and i keep copies of everything i play so i have versions going back to 2015 for this back when it was just past the rio escort mission/cg. While i haven't played much in the past couple years, it's something i wanted to get back into. As for comparing it to Star Citizen, i was a kickstarter backer of that back in 2012 at the $60 tier i think so i am well aware of it's history up until 5-10 years ago when i stopped caring. I was comparing more of the endless changes/improvements and feature creep they both have been through rather than them seeking money.
I didn't compare it to Blackgate since that is a game i followed monthly since update 0.4 and loved, until he drove it into the lake and drown it while still pulling in cash. Instead i hope this game turns out more like Extracurricular Activities where it takes a long time but ends up good, or at least good enough. It's probably mostly because it's a game from back in the days when we didin't have many options for games like this, mainly just the ones above and morenatsu, so i want to see it finished. If you want to see other stuff that kept me alive back then i can dig out my copy of Common Grounds, which was a nightmare to play yet i somehow liked it because it's all we had.
