I’m getting a bit confused with the business model here and couldn’t quite find clarification

I’ve purchased the original version way back, actually could never manage to get it working but it was being worked on so I decided to just wait

The new version/remake seems to now be well under way, which is good BUT some of the language around Q&As here seem to imply that this new version will be available on steam but not on itch and that for people in my position, a steam key will be offered so they can add the game to their libraries

I think the first question is: “is that all correct?” But, if so, what are the alternatives, because I do not want this game on steam, I’d like to just download a DRM-free binary, actually, this is what I purchased

If you've already paid for the original deluxe version, shoot us an email (outismof@gmail.com) with a screenshot of the item in your library and we'll reply with an Itch key when it's available. The Itch version comes *with* a Steam key, but if you don't want to purchase the game on Steam, you can just ignore it or give it away.

The game will be sold on here normally, but is available sooner for paid subscribers. One of the benefits our paid subscribers get is earlier access to new content than the casual follower would get.

 Itch and Patreon have very clunky systems in place, and there's no real elegant way to go about doing this. If a smoother alternative appears, I'm happy to take it.

That sounds fine enough. My fear was being locked into steam, which seems to not be the case.

Wouldn’t you be able to just make that new version available as an update to the old paid version, though?
