Not good news for me as I prefer to get my adult games through Itch. I understand your feelings considering the bs they've been up to lately.
You say it wouldn't be more expensive for current Itch customers? How would that work?
Because I'd have to raise the prices here on Itch anyway to keep in line with the price on other platforms. However I realize now that it might in the end get more expensive depending on how often you'd want to get access on Patreon, even though the access price would be lower.
But I haven't decided yet how to proceed
PP is my number 1 avn game. I would be willing to pay one upfront fixed fee for Season 3. The challenge is I don't want to wait for the entire season to be completed first (like steam) and patreon is a hard pass for me. No offense, I undestand how important patreon is for a avn developer's income, but it just isn't economically feasible for me to spend a subscription fee every month for one single product (even with the incredible fast development speed that you have).
