Thanks for the quick reply! I noticed you saying points 1 and 2 in some of the other replies (and the dev log, which people did't read apparently), but it is just better to leave the explanation there than to continue on with the "you should have $5" justification.
Sucks itch.io doesn't have region-based pricing (yet, presumptively), but that's not anything you can help.
Thanks for taking my reply seriously and not just snapping back or being a smartass. I was frustrated reading the "you should have $5" justifications, and was waiting on your response to determine if I would purchase the game. Thank you for being understanding with the points I brought up.
