I am looking for the original announcement of why Toady One decided to monetize the game. I know it involved cancer but I cannot find the announcement. Can someone please link me.

Thanks,

The ASCII version will still get all the content I'm pretty sure, so if you don't want to pay, you lose nothing. :shrug:
