I hope they start to charge something to support this game.

No reason not to offer a paid version of an open source project.

I know the donations are there but paying for a copy now that it’s so stable would open up support for paying customers and further help legitimize the open source RTS game development process IMHO.



I like the Mindustry way of doing this. Game can be downloaded freely but costs a few bucks if you want to buy it on Steam.


1000% agree! Mindustry's model is my favorite so far. I get all the benfits of open source software while still supporting the developers by happily paying for the convenience of Steam integration.
