Hi Damien,
Thanks. I really do think this is the best decision you made given
that you put a lot of hard work into this game, and I'd hate to see it
be lost to everyone just because you were concerned about a few
customers feeling cheated or something.
My philosophy on this is that if you put a lot of hard work into
something you might as well let people who could not afford it or
didn't buy it at the time enjoy it. Plus as Dark and I both have said
buy releasing it as freeware you are giving your game a bit of
immortality it didn't have before.
Cheers!
