Game Give-aways

Reader mode
ΔV: Rings of Saturn has removed the gameplay restrictions on the demo version, so it's free right now.

Dev Note said:
This is a very special update. In a time of a global crisis, there are causes that need your contributions more than we do. Today I'm lifting all the restrictions of the demo version, making it essentially a full game. Instead of buying ΔV, spend your money on something important and help someone in need. You can get the full version of ΔV when we have peace again.

Why not just make it free?

Probably would fuck with Steam's listing or legalities of making it officially free when it was being sold before, or something like that.

I don't know, I'm not a dev. Just saw the announcement in my Library screen, and figured people might want a free game.

I'm pretty sure Steam's done Free Weekends where people were actually allowed to keep the game after the free period ended before...

found an example: Titan Souls, back in June

Yes, but that is through Steam's system and has a duration set before starting. Setting something 'officially' to free with a duration "until I decide it's not" and then setting it back could have consequences.

Like I said, I'd like to think there is a reason it's done this way and it makes sense so I'm theorizing along those lines, but really I have no clue and I'm just coming up with ideas that kinda make sense as to why.

Well, they did the same thing on GoG, so you can keep the demo, although once they make it paid again you won't be able to update.
I suggest grabbing the offline install for the demo off of GoG instead of Steam.

Technically, if they're both free, is there any reason why you can't just grab both the Steam version of the demo in addition to the GoG version? Especially since going off the system requirements, the game only takes up 512 MB. The only issue might be transfering your save games over if one version becomes unusable for some reason.

This is a much better reason than what I came up with.

Control. By altering the demo only, the dev actually has control over the version he made free, but if he made the official entry free anyone who had the Steam license would continue to have the full game free forever.

Meh, whatever. Too much puzzling out motivations, nobody is here for that. We just want free stuff, if anyone wants to continue it should probably be taken to the general video games thread.

I'll post more later when we burn through the options.

As a reminder to myself, I left off in February 2021. Now I won't have a headache digging through backlog til that point.

Also, real shit, I don't give a fuck if you're selfish. Just take them off my hands so my obsessive ass knows they're dead and gone.
