Yeah the DRM is a pain.
There has to be a way around it though, if people do it for AAA games.
Though I doubt the same resources for a AAA game will be given to The Spellbook's DRM.
Understandable, but a shame.
I'd be more willing to patron this game if it was just Renpy. I like to be able to decompile and look at gallerys and CGs at my own leisure, and then also enjoy the story.
Why I'll patron something like Long Live the Princess (mind control incest tags drew me like it drew me here) and not The Spellbook, despite the fact I'm sure the Spellbook would be right up my alley content wise.
