I am hoping that our case will prove different, as we announced this reward before the rule came into effect and we intend to follow through on our promise to the members here.
We are not looking the game the system, we are looking to reward the players for the passion and interest that they've shown us here for a year.
Yes, we are one of the Top Donors here and that does, in a way, provide a benefit to the members here... but not-so-much to the many people who have helped to get our game noticed, became Patrons of ours, or helped to make the thread of our game 202 pages long, as well as, remained patient for us to release the game on our schedule and not someone else's... so, the best way to reward them, is to select those that took the time to comment and review our work for others and present them with a $100, $75, $50 and $25 gift certificates that they can use at Amazon to get themselves some goodies that they may've been wanting to get.
Many of us here, are disabled, broke and just barely surviving the daily life... I would've probably lost my home, been swallowed by a year's worth of medical bills if not for the members here coming over and supporting our game on Patreon and keeping us going and making money... to me, it is a responsibility to reward those who've collectively worked to make our lives easier, put food on our tables, roofs over our heads and helped pay our bills by giving something back to them.
Honestly, I wouldn't be here and be able to do what I've done if not for them, I owe them something for the dedication they've shown us!
It's the least I can do... and I need to keep my word.
