Interesting that the dev decided to make the game free after a month. They announced that they'd rather have more people play the game even if it doesn't make money. While that's nice, some people actually did pay for the game. I hope they get the option of receiving a refund if they'd like.

I mean if you liked the game and enjoyed the developper's work I feel like that's worth paying them a coffee unless you truly hated it ๐Ÿ˜…

Yeah, I expect it's a bit of trouble for the dev to refund stuff too. I can understand doing it if you've got something to complain about, but having paid like 8 bucks one month ago for a game that's now free is really not worth the trouble IMO.

Even less so if you actually enjoyed the game.

I've only refunded one game, and that's because it literally went into a bundle the next week, where the bundle was half the game's sale price. And even then, I still feel kinda bad about it.

The game becoming free is a good thing and in no way changes the value for people who already bought it.
