    I don’t own this game, and it doesn’t look like the type I would play, but I’m buying it to support the devs. It looks like they responded quickly to the breach and were fully open and transparent to the community.

    EDIT: Bought the game before realizing it was a fan made expansion. No regrets, I’ll give it a try. I looked for any type of donation option but didn’t see one. But my point stands, please back developers who do the right thing. 👍🏻

      I didn’t think it would be the type of game I’d be into.

      I’ve bought it on 3 systems and have probably over 500 hours.

        Same. I never enjoy deck builders both in physical board game and digital form yet Slay The Spire is in all my devices (across multiple different OSs). It’s such a neat game that eases you into the decks far better than other games in the genre. It was rewarding discovering fun strategies for each hero.

          I still do the daily challenges fairly often, since it’s a fun way to play differently than I normally do. The other day I ran a reflex and concentrate deck on the silent with panache and holy cow was that powerful synergy. I never bothered with concentrate before.

        It’s crazy how it sucks people in. So many friends, including strict non-gamers have played slay the spire as their only game for years. They’ve really nailed the formula almost to perfection.

      This is a free fan extension to Slay the Spire. You can’t buy it, and buying the base game won’t support these devs.

        Yes, I do feel the need to donate and buy products from people and companies who act morally correct. I also do the opposite and not buy products from companies who notify users months after the fact or act morally corrupt. Capitalism can work both ways, that’s how boycotts work.
