Hey, wait a minute, the minimum price is 1$ but when you decide to buy it, it is set to 2$.

I understand Itch's pay-what-you-want system, developers require a minimum price and people are free to donate more if they want, this is why there are buttons to add extra money to the minimum price.

However if you set the default price to more than the minimum price then people might think that you are trying to rip them off (That was my first reaction.) because there is no indication that it is actually the wished price, not the required price (I figured it out only because I am used to Itch, newcomers will likely not.), and not everyone will think about typing a custom price themselves, they will most likely assume it can only be changed with the buttons and there are only buttons to add more, not to lower.

This is why developers usually set the default price to the minimum, and let people free to use the dedicated buttons to add extra if they want, they set the default price to the wished price only if there is no minimum price because it is clear that it doesn't require payment, it is available free, and I think you had a bad idea to set the default price to the wished price even though you announced a different required price because, as I explained, the first reaction which comes to mind is "rip off", and only regular Itchers will figure out that you merely misused the system and you didn't try to rip people off.

Or did you? :-3

Hello there!

Sorry for the trouble you had with this insertion :)
I didn't intend to "rip off" you or other developers. Essentially, this is the first insertion I have added in 2017 on itch.io and, at the time, I hadn't enough knowledge about the platform. Honestly, I didn't edited anything about this specific one as it's not a popular plugin and I never found a moment for checking into.

Moreover, I'm not an english native speaker. At the time, my language skills were worse than now.

When I will have some time, I will do a complete rewriting for the page and an update to the plugin. For now, I have removed the "Suggest an alternate default price" tick and applied the correction on the line related to needed images.

Thank you for reporting the issue :D

And thank you for correcting it. ;-3

But you forgot a line. :-3 There were 2 lines where you wrote "any" instead of "no" and you corrected only one... ;-3
