If people did not support him on patreon that it woud be not even possible. At least release it at the same time for higher tiers... So 15 Euro on steam an 20 euro patreons.

As far as I remember, Steam requires that the price be the same on other sites.

no, the dev can sell the game for cheaper on other marketplaces, they just can't sell steam keys for cheaper on other marketplaces

If his parents died when he was three how would he know. He said he doesnt even remember them and Nami is a yr older than him. So how would he know why she has red hair. Now that you say this makes me wonder have we seen a redhead in WIAB. Since we know alot of the parents are from there.
I think Ocean made the right call - release on Steam first versus a simultaneous release on Patreon/SS.
This is a business decision, not a decision to harm his support base, and I am part of that support base.
Once it's released on Patreon/SS - someone will get it uploaded on F95 and then go to Steam and taunt those who are paying for something they can take 'for free' on F95.
There are already some trolls on this thread who have boasted that they will do this or something like it.
I'd rather this approach (Steam first then a week delay for Patreon/SS tier release schedule) than Ocean taking the time to add a unique online verification requirement to each install to prevent anyone from using their copy of SG in more than one place.
IMO, his time is better spent on developing season 2 content versus getting into single use tech for software.
Cheers!!

Yeah not problem for me, i´m not a Patreon supporter but i´m going to buy it there (and maybe if i like season 1 even maintain the subscription) and if i have been able to resist the temptation to play the 5.0 beta and wait sooo much time for the final season 1 i can wait some weeks more.

Absolutely, I'm with you on that one. Releasing the game on Steam first gives the dev a chance to ride the wave of excitement that comes with launching on a widely-used platform. It's a smart move to kickstart sales, bringing in income and covering the initial costs of development.I think Ocean made the right call - release on Steam first versus a simultaneous release on Patreon/SS.

Well, yes but no, i mean, the strategy Ocean is following makes sense, but what you are saying makes sense too. I think this is a complex topic. Anyway Ocean has made a decision and we only can wait to the tomorrow release and each people buy it where they want
The rework is done and the wait comes to an end.

Yeah, completely right, without supporters this Steam release would not be even possible, so they are perefectly understand why the successful release on Steam is important for the further development of THEIR game and why Ocean made this decision. IMHO, they don't mind it because they know that the most time they get access to new content faster than on any other distribution platform. But the Steam release is an exception, and a one-time thing in a few years. Most people are understanding and don't mind. At least that's the impression I get from reading what supporters write on Ocean's Discord or on SS.
The information that the full season will be published on Patreon later than on Steam was announced at least a month ago. For those people who think it will be too expensive for them, additionally buy the game on Steam just to get it a week early, or think it's unfair to Patreon/SS subscribers, well, they've had plenty of time to cancel their subscription this month or downgrade it to the lowest tier. So it's not a problem for the supporters either.
It seems that problems are mainly only have those who are waiting here for their hero, while constantly shitting both on the game and the developer.
It's unbelievable how much anger one week's delay for a game release can cause.

I am still waiting for the Parasite Eve sequel. It's been 25 years ... sigh.While I get the setiment (and agree), many actually didn't survive....a better statement might be more useful
Well, at least Bella is here to cheer me up ...
It's call the "I'm a spoiled brat because mommy told me I'm special" syndrome.
