Hello! Thank you for your comment! 

Yeah, it's true that not everyone would be able to buy it only on itch because of the price, which Steam solves by converting the currency. The problem is that Steam also adjusts the currency for the developers... and that really messes up their sales (T_T)

For instance, let's say that an Argentinian developer wanted to sell their game for around 15 USD. In Argentinian pesos (according to Steam's exchange rate) the game would be selling at around 256 Argentine Pesos. 256 Argentine Pesos is 0.90 dollars, it's not even a dollar. That's why it wouldn't be worth it for me at the moment to sell games on Steam, unfortunately, even though I really want to ಥ_ಥ

The alternative I'm thinking, in addition to selling the game on itch, is to also sell the game as a reward on my Patreon, since Patreon has more paying methods than Itch.

Oh, for sure! It wasn't criticism of your decision, you explained the reasons why perfectly well. Just that people voting against it are probably voting that way because it prices it out of their range.

No worries, I took the comment as feedback, which I really appreciate! ☺️ 

I completely understand why people would vote against the decision too. And that's okay! 💪I'll just have to see how it goes with the poll and thinking it a bit morebefore coming to a decision.

Thank you for your comment! 🌸
