  I found out recently that steam now let’s devs create subscriptions as opposed to one-time charges, so it’s 110% that

    Ain’t no way I’ll pay that.
    I would have discussed if it meant a one time payment but hell nah.

        I mentioned one time pay.
        If it’s that expensive, I can’t help you (or the devs) because I won’t play it then :-)

    They already added a subscription.

    Up front cost cannot cover the ongoing API costs they must be paying for Google Maps. So either this has to be free and just a front end for the same shit, or they’ll still end up net negative.
