I understand that your team prefers quality supporters for your fascinating game, I would be proud if I'm in. However, reality is the reality. People are overworked and underpaid nowadays, lots of players accept the entertainment for them is a luxury goods but shall not be a castle in the air.
We can buy Black Myth: Wukong with 38 USD, a game can compete with all the best games around the world in 2024. However, players with normal job in China still thought twice to order it. That's why I say to buy a 0.4.2 version game with 35 USD is a fairy tale for lots of players.
I placed 10 or 12 USD before when the game is free and we can place any price at our will. That's cool and a settled and reasonable price is also cool for the players, even for their loyalty for any other games of your studio. I am worry about would the high price can really sustain your bigger plan in the future.
Best wishes anyway!
