Hmm.
Ever since I announced that I'm likely done updating Stranded in Space on Itch, I've been seeing a ton of comments like yours.
I want to believe it's out of the enjoyment you get from playing the game, which I appreciate.
But it also seems like everyone thinks I'm doing this by choice. I'm not. I quite enjoyed the situation I had on Itch. The community, especially. I didn't change the rules randomly; Itch did. These changed rules didn't just hurt me financially; they made it nearly impossible for me to release my game here on Itch without risking a ban from Paypal (and I've already been banned from Stripe due to this).
Lastly, I've offered every update/version of my game for free here on Itch. From the base game all the way to Day 16.
I am not trying to abandon anyone. I don't like this situation either.
