Sounds troublesome... 😓
I totally support the paywall; it's a simple reward for a subscription, and the ones most invested in the project would naturally then be the ones to access and play the latest versions, giving the devs useful feedback.. And that's without even considering the finances of development.
I'm sure you guys have made backups and shored up defenses against leaks since then..
When a stranger is rude, try to take it to mind, just not the heart.
In the end, however much of a game developers choose to release for free is up to them.
Since I'm sort of a wanderer with no money, I'll just stop at paywalls; maybe check back in in the future if I think there's a chance there'd be more.. Or maybe when I have money, lol.
I'd say that this much is already more than enough to satisfy my 'craving for a game for free'.
I wonder if a longer demo correlates with more player investment and thus also support.. 🤔
Welp, I'm off to finish playing whatever's left of the demo!
