Fire Alpaca SE
I did a thing. I use Fire Alpaca for drawing and I love it. Love it so much I've been wanting the deluxe version, Fire Alpaca SE (Steam Edition), since it came out because it's affordable, it's a one time payment/ not a subscription, and has added features like Dark Mode and fancier brush creation.
Decided getting in debt for $30 for something I use all the time is totally worth it and I got it!
I did not realize that the Steam Edition did not just mean "buy off Steam" but that it also requires to use Steam to operate it. It's not a program that is downloaded into your computer. It's used via Steam.
I do not like that.
At all.
My computer is also a bbyputer with very limited RAM and having to keep Steam open does not help with that. Sure it seems to have gone down to about 3% (plus another 12% for the FA SE when idle) but that's still 3% I could be using somewhere else. I need every percentage, okay?
Anyway, I'm asking for a refund. I really love the FA program, want to support it where I can, and I do want a fancier version of it, but having it be exclusive to Steam is not a good fit for me. I hope one day they make a version that does not require a separate on-line service to operate.
