We feel it's more respectful to be up-front about pricing from day 1. If we announced the pricing further down the line I think we'd get a lot more criticism. We don't want to hide/bury anything that might be considered controversial.
I'm curious specifically why do you think that's disrespectful?
Perhaps our English level is not that good...perhaps we just transform what you want to express...
When reading your comment, the tone you used was like "we decided to go that way...and this will be THE way...no matter if we loose all of you, old customers, along that way"...
For me this sounds disrespectful to the community...
Anyway, as I said, I won't probably be part of the Construct3 journey [It will really depend on what the free version will be offering] but I wish you all the best with your new customer base...
