Basically it.
The updates are not free, and you need to pay.
Even cyberpunk didn't do something that stupid.
Don't buy the game it's a scam

Please read the FAQ, I probably shouldn't have released a public build thats the same as the donation on new years. But i shifted development into the full non-preview game and thats caused some confusion.
There will be an update released donation only this month, it will be a very different game than the public release. Hopefully people will under stand then.
I also reccomend reading development updates, i make them frequently.
The reason for this is how release branches work in butler, it's a functional issue and a system I don't intend to change incase it causes people to have to pay again.
in short I have to keep the donation and pulbic separate cause I update them as branches, if i attempted to modify this process i may accidentally cause people to have to donate again to get content. People donated for the $5 verson, thus they have a key to this particular file, i simply update that file to ensure acess. If i make a new branch people who paid may not have acess to that branch, so i'd rather not risk that.
I also simply update these files because people who use the itch launcher get automatic updates. These people will also be seamlessly transitioned into the full game ideally.
