tl;dr

Customers cannot pay incrementally, so itch.io DLC feels broken and needs to be fixed.

intro

I’m sure you all know you can set item price individually. Let’s say I have two items:

• anger.jpg, which is the $1.00 base product,
• nod.gif which is accessible to those who pay more than $1.01.

anger.jpg($1.00)

nod.gif(minimum price $1.01)

problem

A customer pay $1.00 to get base product.

After a while, the customer liked the product so much, he decided to pay more to unlock nod.gif. Since he did already paid $1.00 he wanted to pay $0.01 more, but itch.io said $1.00 is the minimum payment amount. He didn’t mind paying extra, so he paid $1.00 anyway. And he got two anger.jpg.

conclusion

Please adopt incremental payment. I’m pretty sure this is holding some of itch.io sales.
