I appreciate that you're trying to resolve this, but throwing money at me to give me a free copy of the Deluxe edition isn't the solution, and the fact that you seem to think it is shows that you're completely misunderstanding the issue. I like this game and I just want HoruBrain to treat the people who supported it early on with a modicum of respect. Telling us that we don't have access to the full version of the game when we purchased it while it was called the full version is a slap in the face, and I would rather they acknowledge that instead of making excuses to justify it. Otherwise it feels like we're nothing more than a dollar in their pocket. I don't want to be treated that way because it makes it hard for me to enjoy their work while feeling like they don't care if we enjoy it. Somebody else paying for the game to shut me up won't resolve that.
I know I can't force them to fix this issue, I just don't want to begrudge somebody who is making something I like. A persons feelings toward the creator of a work are always going to get mixed in with their feelings towards the work itself for better or for worse. I just want it to be for better so my experience with this game isn't soured.
