It's only to be fair to the patreon system. The price will go down each week as the patreon tier releases. I know piracy is a thing and I know ppl who can't afford it will pirate the game and that's more than fine. The people who supports me in a monetary way doesn't pay to buy something, but to ensure I can keep making games. For those who can't pay, the price will go lower, and eventually it will come out free, or probably pirated before that. I respect piracy. But yeah, if everyone pirates the game, and no one supports me, I'll have to go drive a car or something to feed my family.
