Thank you for the answer, but I'm still confused. If it releases for free on patreon the same day it becomes available on itch for 12USD, why wouldn't I go to your patreon and download the latest chapter for free? I understand buying the game helps support you as a creator, but it seems there is a group of paying supporters that pay for what you are already offering for free. Hope this makes sense. I'm not trying to be discouraging, just trying to understand.
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to chapter 8 release!
