My question was why I need to pay extra for a new episode if I was promised free updates? Give us, who've bought the bundle free access to your patreon. I'm not saying about top tiers but just to be able to download a new content. In my eyes it is legit decision to get out of this satiation with itch. Otherwise it sounds only as excuse to earn more money via patreon.
Hi! Those are legit points. Let me respond to them:
1) There is no way to configure a free patreon for those who buy games here on itch. We can do the other way tho, in the admin we can configure to give games here for those who support on patreon.
2) You don't need to pay for updates. As soon this problem with itch is solved or at least they give us some indication that games won't get ban we can get back to update over here.
3) We have a big and solid operation on our home country for more than 8 years. We don't want to milk players. We are just protecting our global viability through patience and information. If Itch bans our account we can't finish distributing the game at all.
We understand and appreciate you wanting to continue the game and Celebrity Hunter was doing incredible well here at itch. We all got affected by their changes last year. I bet they got too. It's a terrible situation for our niche right now. But we hope to get out of this soon!
