"Give me this thing you spent countless hours working on for free."
Its reasonable to not want to spend money on an unfinished product. Especially when there is no guarantee it'll ever actually be finished. There are plenty of examples of abandoned games on this site alone.
But I'm barely 10 minutes into 0.4, and its definitely worth it - assuming it doesn't get abandoned or otherwise discontinued. I'll continue with the free versions, and when its complete, I'll happily pay for the fully completed game.

1 - It's only 10$, what are talking about -_-
''I'm barely 10 minutes into 0.4''

2 - 0.4 is still a paid version and you didn't buy it.
So you downloaded it from a pirate website?
if you look at the dates on the posts you'll notice that his explanation came after my inquiry. And I don't know why youre acting like I'm picking in them, the game hasn't been discontinued yet, so *if* they had pirated the game off of an independent developer, I would see plenty off issue with that. Seeing as they didn't, I still think asking the author to release it for free is a bit distasteful, but expressing concerns about the games release and choosing to only play the free demos is entirely up to them and I have no issue with that. I don't see why you take my comment to be anything more than a discouragement of wrongfully pirating an independent product, something I even said in the original comment, may or may not be what they did, which evidently they didn't.
