the game looks good and is even something I'm interested in 100% however I'm not gonna buy it multiple times... make it $15 or something and a 1 time purchase. you know it's scammy i don't care if people poo poo my comments... i would have bought it at $20 but not at the mercy of EA or triple-A studio tactics go sell on Patreon if that's what you plan on doing there are places for that kind of money.....

You can still buy it once when the game is actually completed / for retail :3. There will likely be an early access period when this is possible. Doing this preemptively will damage a developer's ability to negotiate with retail platforms (Steam for example has requirements about where the game is sold and for what price).
Helping indie developers out at this stage of development is completely up to you, but it actually helps. Pure Onyx will have a budget roughly 1/200 that of EA titles, so it's apples and oranges.
