Do I really need to grind 2-5 hours in 2-4 games each week to "enjoy" them? No. But to get some content I want, I have to. Why? What happened to having stuff be given out for free and letting people have FUN with the product they paid for?
I mean, I get it: HAHA CAPITALISM GOES KA-CHING but come on developers?
To quote Wikipedia: A lot of people don't donate/look the other way. So it's probably not sustainable to do a free release unless you're like Cave Story good (popular enough to release for money again and get that money/support despite the freeware version being out there in the wild).
