I don't think this needs to be discussed anymore.
Yeah, this was done with the free version of Unity, but still spent a good amount of time developing and working on the game.
Of course it's up to anyone to judge if that work is worth the price of a subscription, and that's the reason why there's a demo. Obviously, there are very good indie and more professional games that use Unity and are more complex or detailed, but then again, nobody is forced to pay for any of them.
My stance still stands, mainly because I still want to give a chance to people that can't pay to enjoy the game if they really want to.
With this, I think this discussion is already over. It has moved away from the original question into something more related to if this game plus all the previous content is worth the price, so I think anything else added here would just add noise.

1. I do know that Unity has a free plan where you can easily: https://store.unity.com/compare-plans there's no way he spent $400 USD for the software
2 Yes there is. Depending on the quality there are some things worth paying for and some things that aren't look at Phasmophobia it was made using unity and it's a full blown game or look at heiwa chans stuff worth paying for but that's just my opinion
3. Never said it was chief. :)

1. You don't know that
2. Even if you're right, there's no reason people shouldn't be compensated for their time
3. Not your call, chief ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As someone who subbed for the game, I seriously do not mind if t gets released later. The practice is extremely common for patreon-style sites and it's strange you've never heard about it.

Well, there are already more rewards for the subscribers as well anyway. The game took some effort to be finished, but I would like to give it to the people if enough show interest in it, while giving even more stuff to the subscribers.

Wouldn't it then be pointless if you do release it for those who already subbed to get it?

It's a way to reward group effort, while avoiding taking away something that supporters might have subscribed for.

No offense. But why not release it publicly if you're going to anyway?

Yeah, that's the limitation. There's an on-going offer on Twitter (https://twitter.com/0atreus_/status/1374852659409268736). If that post hits 500 likes before the end of the month, I'll release the full game for free!
