You bet! Someone asked this question earlier in the comments, so here's what Meyaoi said to them:

- Re-purchase the game at the $45 tier

- Then, request a refund on your previous purchase to support@itch.io, stating the reason (for upgrading the tier)

Hope this helps! ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

Thanks a bunch ๐Ÿ‘

Only question after that is: can I get a refund if the previous purchase was almost 300 days ago ^^' I imagine so, given the reason, but I'm a paranoid person and it's all being converted to Canadian Dollars.

I'm pretty sure you can, but maybe email support@itch.io and inquire about it first if you want to be totally sure? (but oh man, I feel you on the Canadian exchange rate--I got some Ranch Employees and wow, it's NOT $485 Canadian Dollars, I can tell you that ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚. Totally worth it tho ๐Ÿ˜œ)

Aaaaah I would totally donate for a Ranch Employee, but even Beta Access is rich for my blood ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚ (I only have a part-time position and current events have made finding better work even more difficult. This will just be a treat for myself once I save up again ๐Ÿ˜…)

Fair enough! I've been super fortunate in these covid times with my job, and CERB has been immensely helpful as well, but times are hard for a lot of people still :(. It's super awesome that you're treating yourself with beta access tho, kudos! Treating ourselves every now and then to things that bring us joy is super important โค

Genuinely glad to hear Covid hasn't caused you too much trouble. I'm so used to hearing how people are struggling, it's uplifting to hear someone being even just in an okay position.

When things are tough, whether it's Covid or something else entirely, getting yourself a treat can be helpful. It can be a reward for getting through it, or act as a 'light at the end of the tunnel'(for people who find a goal more motivating than a reward). While doing it too often can do more harm than good, I always encourage treating yourself when times are tough ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ‘

Amen to that! Having things to look forward to and/or rewarding ourselves for a job well done is important, but it's also important to make sure not to cross the line into self-indulgence as that is never good ๐Ÿ˜
