The game is like 2 minutes long, then I can't play any more? I need to pay you monthly on Patreon to play the entire thing? Agent Horny had way more content for a similar price. What am I missing?

Hi, I know you were hyperbolic about the 2 minutes, but just so there is no confusion, when playing on auto in repn’py (enough time to read and take a quick glance at each image), the version of The Lewd Deal available on itch is 30 minutes of gameplay. The "single" route is 18 minutes; the "couple" route is 12 minutes.
In other words, it’s not that much smaller than a single major update from Agent Horny, and as a result, the price is just 1$ less. Now, obviously, if someone buys Agent Horny update that includes all content from the previous updates and that’s longer.
There are many factors to consider when pricing a project, from the type and amount of content to how much time I spend on it. Keep in mind that when you pay me $5.69, I am not getting $5.69. There are platform fees, processing fees, and then taxes before I even calculate other expenses, so in general, pricing something less than $5 is not a good idea.
And yes, the full version of this short-style game that adds another 220 renders, 12 animations, and 1300 words is Patreon exclusive to my long-term patrons (6 months or more). This is extra content rewarding their support, and having the 6 months requirement is the only way to make leaking the game harder.
Yes, the 2 minute was a cheap shot out of a bit of frustration and surprise. I guess since I paid a similar amount for Agent Horney 5. I expected it to be a smilier length, even though its is version 5. I don't like mostly fee's. I would rather pay you $10 for a longer version of the game.
You do a great job and I like your work.
I know that a large chunk of itch users are not fans of Patreon subscriptions; if there was a way for me to offer the full version here while still protecting it from leaks, I would have done it, believe me.

Thank you, and I am sorry that I am not able to offer the full version here.
