Walt, I have no intention of delisting any of my games because my goal is neither to violate Itch ToS nor to scam anyone.
Version 0.7/0.75 is still public and you can find it by going to the top right button (Explore) > My Library > Things you own. Or just click here.
The links are still working and you will be able to download it forever if you purchased it.
That said, the pricing scheme I use is always the same: first week higher price, second week lower price, third week the game becomes free for everyone in the public version.
This is not just an idea, but a way of respecting those who support me on Patreon, which is the only platform that first allowed me to turn this into my job.
The Patreon subscription costs $12.50 and has always been more convenient, and it also guarantees access to official guides and bonus content such as the endings guide, which I can provide precisely because platforms like Patreon give me a sustainable revenue margin.
And I will repeat it, if you enjoyed my game, thank you for supporting me. If, before checking, I am accused of being dishonest or a scammer, then for me the conversation ends here.
The free version of .7/.75 can still be found - yes.
The premium version, however, cannot. Check your own page - there's four items. Two games split between a free and a premium version.
I am aware that the version I purchased is still in my library. I'm saying you should have five games - this one should have premium .75 and a premium .8. The fact that it's no longer possible to purchase .75 (and I do get the reasoning there - who in their right mind would purchase a deprecated product?) means that you have zero problem with pulling the rug out from the people who tried to support you.
You basically instituted a behavior that this platform doesn't support because you want more money - not out of fairness. Patreon <> Itch. There are other developers who understand this and treat them both differently. I would say I don't understand why you're trying to force the subscription behavior onto this platform, but again, you just want more money.
