Thank you for the response

. Good to know a non steam download will still be available. The paying for acts things put a bit of wariness there because while I have no intention to stop backing, I may in the future for a while if money is tight for a period, another kid comes etc. But willing to see how you guys ultimately decide to implement it.
Looking forward to Rowan becoming more corrupt I think the fact it's been a slow fall will pay off in the end. It would be a bit weird if he was essentially enslaved but then became Darth Vader in leather straight away. I always want to play as the bad guy or have the option to go that route always been a big appeal of SOC that there's choices in what route he'll go down.
Really do hope you guys get more funding to help development with the changes. Certainly deserve it.
