Imagine I'm trying to sell 3 games separately.
- 1$ - Racing Game
- 3$ - Puzzle Game
- 5$ - Platformer Game
If a person buys the Platformer Game... I want them to only receive that game. The other 2 games are not included in that purchase. I'd want the same user to pay additionally for the other 2 games.
The Problem:
The way itch,io is currently set up: there's no way I can exclude users with certain patreon tiers from getting products that are not a part of their tier rewards. For example, if I wanted to offer the Racer game to people who are only in the 1$ patreon tier.... It's possible a person who's in the 7$ tier can get that game for free if they find or create a link key to it.
This is terrible for me because I find itch.io to be the perfect platform for conducting my business and my customers enjoy using this website among others. If this feature was added, I predict my profits would soar and more customers would join my patreon. It'd be a win-win-win all around!
Proposed Solution / My Idea:
I want a new feature added to "Edit Project > Distribute > Patreon Access" A feature that allows the creator of a project to deny certain Patreon Tiers from claiming a key for a project not intended for them. (I'm surprised that this feature isn't here already, I hope itch.io considers adding it as soon as possible.)
