lunmie worked hard for gacha life and gacha club and yet its free so, sister i dont see your point
And that's cool for them. I'm glad they're able and willing to share something they worked on for free. But that's not everyone and not everyone is in a situation where they can do that. You can have a problem with the price, but you can also keep that to yourself. Also running a server isn't cheap. Do you expect them to eat the cost of running it and not ask for any financial compensation? That's insane dude and if you have a problem with a small company asking for five dollars, then you better also have a problem with the current price of mainstream games and not buy them either.
