Bought the game in pre-alpha

Hey there, i paid for this game in pre-alpha a long time ago, do i have to buy it again if i want the game on steam?

U would hope not...

Yup you gotta buy it... They are different games now and the new development company isn't giving away free copies of the game.

well, they are, for people whom do youtube and stuff.. But there should at least be like a discount for people who bought it in pre-alpha, like i still have the e-mail they sent me with the download for the game.

“Will players who have played or donated on Itch.io receive a free copy of Raft on Steam?”

We very much appreciate all the support and feedback we have gotten from our community, however, playing or donating to the itch prototype will not grant access to the Steam version of Raft.

That's called PROMOTION, not freebies... if you have a large YouTube channel then ask them for a key. Not all Promo keys are forever though, many companies are sending out keys that are for a limited time to promote the game and then the YouTubers have to buy the game just like the rest of us.

Actually that is incorrect. Youtubers get to keep a copy.

You never bought it in pre-alpha, you donated. Which was completely your choice, so yes you will have to buy it again.
