I agree that it's not scummy, but don't be here running defense for the developer and making up reasons for why something is or isn't viable.

Of course, the developer is under no obligation to hand out Steam keys, nor has he hasn't said anything about it yet. But I think that most early supporters (myself included) would appreciate an acknowledgement of said support.

It's pretty simple: I bought the game twice already, I am not buying it a third time, but if I were given the Steam version, I would be more inclined to support this developer in future.

Dev has said keys for Itch won't be coming on the Discord server. From the FAQ section:

"Can I get it on other platforms if I bought it somewhere?

You can download the android version if you bought it on itch. That is all."

It's just a ploy to sell to the same players again and again. You might not want to call it what it is, but it's scummy behavior. And sure, there's no obligation to do it as it wasn't ever promised, but that doesn't make it right... The honorable thing is to just make it easy for the early players/supporters.

This remains an unhinged take. It’s not a ploy. You don’t need to own the game four separate times.

It's not scummy if he was upfront with this from the start (which I believe he was). But I will know not to support his games pre-Steam launch in the future.
