My two cents on the whole Paywall issue is this: One hand, sure it makes sense to "have it" since there is the possibility of having additional cash added due to it through the who Pateron/Steam. At the same time however though, on a site like this, putting a paywall is literally just asking for the steam version to be pirated and shared either here or even else where. Especially when you have so little content in acts I through IV. To have the paywall now really is a bad move at this point, even with there isn't sparings of content with the girls.
In my opinion, I wouldn't have gone with the paywall in this games current state. Instead, a better sales pitch would be to offer the early release on Steam as is at a reasonable pricing (At it's current build probably $5.99-9.99), offering those who don't want to go through the pateron pledging a chance to support the game, and once the game is entirely completed, bump the pricing. Sure, the game would be pirated regardless either here or else, there's no denying that, however optics wise and promotional it's a better sell so to speak.
But these are simply my thoughts. I still love the game, and even though I would like to support this game, among others, but can't thanks to lack of finances (Thanks Covid), I'm stuck with most of the people here, among many others here.
