We used to offer Early Access on Itch before the whole payment processor de-indexing thing happened. Anytime there was a new build, we'd offer the new files for the price the Supporters were paying monthly. So what you were buying was early access to that specific build. We can't do that anymore because if we list this game as anything other than Free, we'll get de-indexed again, which will make our game invisible to new people.
Which sucks because technically, buying each build's Early Access on Itch was a cheaper way to get the builds early than staying subscribed on the support sites since you were only paying when the builds came out, not monthly. But them's the breaks, I guess.
Thank Collective Shout for this lmao
