yes, i agree. and i don't complain about this particular dev of this particular game. i'm saying that here only because it's for sure not the first time i'm seeing apologists of this model on f95. all that "dev doesn't owe anything to anyone, game's ackchyually free" and "it's for self-respecting, grown-up and salaried sUpPoRtErs, not you", you might've seen that, you're not new. i have an impression that the only monetization model that they'd see as not-so-acceptable is "luna in the tavern" one, where you literally have to log in via patreon in-game to play the fucking "actual" game with unblurred cg.The dev makes up tiers every other month, nothing new. However, I will admit he makes stuff available for lower tiers relatively quickly than anyone else using this model really, so I don't think anyone should complain about it personally. Higher tiers exist so whales can pay devs they like every month, and it's better to play a game which is bug tested.
What I don't like is the scene removal for PAYING people, and it's still a dev's choice to alienate lower tier subs. Up to the people to decide whether to sub or not.
Otherwise, the game is free with less content so whatever.
