I wonder what would happen if I made NYKRA pay-what-you-want (+ being free). Then give the option to support me further, if you liked the game. Has anyone done this sorta thing for a big release? More people will play, but it could be way less profit.
My advice is don't give it away for free until it gets to a point on the long tail where you're not making much, then you can take advantage of services like epic where it can go free for a month in exchange for a sum
