The whole reason of subscriptions for indie developers is to get funding/earnings to motivate their desire to keep going with the games as well as not get financial issues in the meanwhile. You can just go free like I do and not complain.

Big thing with that is if its a satisfaction thing, if getting paid is like one big Headpat or something than upvoted and praisal on the games development should be sufficient. Im not saying paying them is bad or anything but alot of developers go corrupt and then abandon games due to money. The financial issues part well lets just say the rich assholes that overcomplicate things and made everything difficult than it needs to be are in need of some real painful asskickings.
