I don't think you are cheated. I am not buying Construct 2 now with 40% of discount, it is not that I don't have money but the thing is that I want to support C2 so much that I don't like it to buy more cheap. Since I have used about 4 engines but if you ask what is best in 2D engine I will say that C2 because of the simple and easy way it has. Some of the engines are also like 5000 dollars which is a bit very much for me.
And yes pixel perfick is right that there will be you or other who will miss the chance of buying with discount, because no one know when the discount will come. :D
But I am sure that if you can make even one good game with C2 you can make 1000 Dollars easily. :)
So stop thinking about the past and do the work in present. :D
I am just making you understand in my way please don't feel that I am hurting you or saying bad. If you feel this than I am sorry from my side. I just want to tell you to support C2 and to others also. :)
Thanks in advanced.
Bye bye take care.
