I said it was a me issue, so thanks for reiterating that.
And being a tester is not the norm for gamers, so I wouldn't expect others to hold onto every version of a game. I've got just under 700GB of games in my folder, so after I play a version, I'll delete it until the next chapter comes out. There's obviously a large backlog, but unless I make a specific exception for it, that's my best practices. This game is one I'll make an exception for, but other potential players likely won't, so it may affect the devs ability to retain an audience. Just a consideration for those making unity games, which have a smaller share of the market. Whether they want to change things, add more warnings, or leave them as is, is completely up to each and every dev.
I was responding to you and others agreeing with you, but yeah, sorry about that part.
I don't expect others to hold onto every version, but why would you delete the current one? I keep every game I play's 'current' version. Don't you go back and replay things? Re-enjoy your favorite parts? Isn't that the point of porn games?
As for our audience, we expect most of them to be at least a bit tech savvy, read the instructions, or at least listen to us when we say things. This topic was voted on by supporters, and this is what won. Most of his paying players are older gamers, and we prefer things to be the old fashion way. Put the game stuff, in the game's folder where it belongs, not in random places in hidden system folders that could be lost in a crash. Also, this game is mainly for people who buy it on Steam, once it is complete, not for pirates who pay nothing, they will not be updating it much, if ever.
Like it or not, you guys are technically testers, you are playing incomplete games, and you need to expect some inconveniences. We appreciate the help, but the paying customers are the ones who decide these things.
Personally, if
I were to make a Ren'Py game myself, I would do my best to disable that 'appdata' save thing there too. I despise it. I hate having to go in and delete that folder every so often. Constantly filling up with redundant crap. It is a waste of space on my smallest hard drives. In fact, I think I will go empty it again now. Over 2.5gig, it's ridiculous to put all that in my C:\.
