WHAT $999.99
you know you can lock things behind a code right?
It's true that patreon subscribers can access the game with the code (it hasn't been posted yet) but unfortunately this option doesn't exist for people who are subscribed on other platforms, like SubscribeStar (I'll implement it once they do, if they do.) I really don't know a more elegant solution than this, and I've looked for one.
Clarification: Once the game is available to the general public, the weirdly priced item will go away. The purpose is to give paid subscribers access to the content in advance, not to price it any differently. No one is meant to click "buy" on the specific item.
