just a point about steam, and this is totally directed at steam policies, not your choices whatsoever.
if steam really was the value-adding platform it claims to be, then they'd have absolutely no problem with varying prices.
because if a platform really is adding that extra value, then ppl would choose it even if the price was more expensive because the added value (like exposure to a larger audience, inbuilt marketing tools, consolidating game databases etc) would effectively counteract those higher prices. their policies just demonstrate the need for strict anti-monopoly laws,. as that company would surely enforce a monopoly however it could if it could.

cant wait for the next update. thank you very much or the advance warning, and the 'concession' you have  granted to your supporters here :)
both signs of a fan-focused dev for sure :)

Well you could argue that steam just wants to make sure you don't exploit it as a pure marketing site, which is understandable imo.

good point. in any case, dont think im complaining, gotta say, i really appreciate you choosing the steam model over the patreon model

I mean offering different versions of the same product is a mainstay of the gaming industry, the amount of console-exclusive or store-exclusive DLCs is wiiiide, so for Steam to go "you can't offer an inferior version of your product for free" is purely done to try and maintain their market share over actual philosophies or ideals.
