I want to be fair. You could go to Patreon or Subscribestar and make a $3 pledge and get the release on the same day. $20 patrons get it today, $9 patrons get it next week, and then $3 patrons as well as itch.io followers get it on the 1st.
And I probably wouldn’t have a free version at all, except that the paid version will show up on pirate sites almost immediately. If someone isn’t willing to pay for it, then no amount of goading or shaming will help. I felt that it’s best to just get out in front of the situation. 🫤
