I do hope the game comes back to itch eventually.
It kind of feels like a convenient excuse to ask people to pay $25 (where i am at least) a month in order to keep up with the game.
Which is fine. Nothing wrong with charging for your art, but like.. just say that. This feels a little deceptive. Nothing personal against the artist, i hope I'm wrong on this. I just have too much experience with the way people are on the internet.
