  tgeorgemihai also, just a note, C3 will do everything the same way C2 does when it comes to the most important things. Nothing is changing.

  Compilers for Javascript don't exist. Javascript is not a compiled language, it's an interpreted language.

  This is not strictly true, see:

  http://softwareengineering.stackexchang ... -by-design

  The V8 "interpreter" compiles to native code internally, Rhino optionally compiles to Java bytecode internally, and various Mozilla interpreters ({Trace,Spider,Jager}Monkey) use a JIT compiler.

  Don't think it's some sort of joke, we're reading everyone's comments. We took the decision to just be upfront as we could about pricing. Perhaps it would of been better or worse if we did it the other way round, who knows. It is what it is.

  Nah, the fallout would have been far worse if they had waited to announce these exact features.

  This way they don't have to worry about the users who wouldn't have paid for the new scheme anyways.

  Now all they have to do is build up the value of C3, hence the trickle of information.

  That was our thinking!

  — don't worry, but if you could just try tone it down a bit would be much appreciated! I do understand your and everyone else's concerns.

  Business edition prices are TBC in the future.

  Construct 2 will continue to receive updates as they have been for the foreseeable future. Exactly as has been in the past, if critical parts break they will be fixed and updates given to everyone free of charge.

  DaniellMesquito we did allow them for a long time (at least a year!) but the additional overhead of administrative costs, extra maintainence of payment code and the extremely low sales volume together made us decide to drop support for now.
