Hello!
I learned yesterday that I could put the game on gumroad (which would bypass Steam and itch.io's paperwork.) However, I'm highly reluctant to do it.
Some of my friends say they're okay with it, but I feel like it'd be cheating on customers. Let me explain:
Right now my pool is as follows: Steam, itch.io, gumroad and FANBOX (the latter for keys if you got me cashed over 1500 Yen total, aside from the manga)
FANBOX will be the least expensive choice as the Yen/USD conversion isn't exactly 100 (in favor of USD, meaning $15 > Y1500)
Steam and itch.io, while touching people who don't know about me or the game yet, will be $15 flat (or $14.99 if I have to, still more expensive than the FANBOX treat)
Then comes gumroad, which is more advantageous than Steam and itch.io for me, since I get a bigger percentage than on those sites. However, it is much less for you (buyers) as the price does NOT include VAT.
For those who haven't used gumroad to buy stuff, especially if you come from european countries... you really shouldn't, as high VAT means quite a bit more to pay, and I don't really want people to feel cheated just because they bought on gumroad, with 5, 7, 8, 10, 20% VAT
Sure, Steam and itch.io means less money for me, but at least you'd get the product for $15, with no extras to pay.
If you want to conciliate both, though, FANBOX is the way to go
Here is a poll so I can see what you think about it: https://strawpoll.com/oa8433wjv
Thank you for your time!
