you say ppl have to manually request links to updates if they purchased the game earlier, but this old update post seems to be the one and only place ppl can even contact you, as there is no comments section in the main page....
that is scam-like behaviour.. how can ppl request the manual links to the game they paid for, if there is no way to contact you?

If you've already purchased the game, you don't need to ask for download links directly from us. You can just request them following the instructions located here.
If for whatever reason you can't get download links to work through that process, you can email us at alterworldsgames@gmail.com with the email address associated with the PayPal account you used to purchase the game, and we'll send you the links in response.
We apologize for the confusion, and we'll add those instructions to the game description so others who are having issues accessing the update can still receive it.
