Hello, pilots.

Here's why stratO will not be participating in the upcoming Steam Sale:

Because it would be a slap in the face for everyone who bought my game at full price on launch day. I hate when I buy a game and then immediately afterwards it goes on sale and it makes me feel like an idiot. I would never want to do the same to my customers.

Sure, I could make a little quick buck, but this is my first commercial release and this would sow a lot of badwill. I'm not in this for the money in the sense that I want to ride around in expensive cars and go on luxurious vacations. I *would* like to have enough money to make this game even better, and to make even better games.

I don't just want your business --

-- I want your REPEAT business

Thank you for supporting me, buying my games, playing my games and sharing them.
