Funny how you prove your own inability to comprehend what you read. You highlighted what you THOUGHT proved your point, but it doesnt. You also didnt quote me properly. I said, "You paid for years for because YOU convinced YOURSELF you were paying for development when the dude NEVER said that was the case. The game has ALWAYS been completely FREE! Perhaps in the beginning he was using Patreon to supplement his income and allow him to spend more time on the game, but the game WAS STILL FREE!"
On top of that , you ignored the part below that where he says, "The game is FREE as of now". Now here I'll admit, i was incorrect in that I said that pledging was a donation with no other benefits. In fact, he tells you, "But if you pledge a small monthly fee you can have access to the latest playable version of summertime saga (this language is poor, as if you dont pay and just wait, you also get this), watch darkcookie work via his video stream (also available to those who don't pay, you just cant comment live), read or post Patreon-only feed on content progression and you get to help him financially which is greatly appreciated".
So Again, you prove me right. You are deluding yourself into believing things he didnt promise.
