Change to PWYW

Hello, mortals! :)

After four months since I've released October Rust, I decided to change it indefinitely to Pay What You Want mode (4,50$ of suggested price). The reasons are:

• For a first 30 days after a release, the main rulebook had been downloaded 170 times (Itch.io and DTRPG) and that lead to 9 purchases.
• Then, at 5$ price followed by two sales discount, it managed only to get additional 9 purchases. Plus nine Community Copies taken.

As you can see, almost no-one buys this game. This is just secondary problem to me, because I just wanted to compensate the cost of making it (not done yet). The issue lies in recognizability. My main goal is to convince as many people as possible to play this game and share thoughts about it, or at least to read October Rust. Holding this game behind a paywall won't help, I'm sure. I think that not sticking it into PWYW indefinitely was my mistake...

Two weeks ago I slightly adjusted (lowered) the price from 5$ to 4,5$ and it didn't help. I'm tired of experimenting with sales, discounts and market strategies, just to receive almost no feedback after all.

That's why, I decided to stick into PWYW. Will that cut potential sales even more? Well, the sales are non-existent after all. Recently I have seen some couple of views at October Rust's Itch.io page.  I'm sure that if the game was available for free back then, somebody would download it...

For those who already buy this game, I want to thank you for support! :)
