  • Also just a note, we now have a CAPTCHA form so if any are getting through it's likely a human spam farm of some sort.

  • Sorry guys, I know it's been bad for a while and I shouldn't be relying on volunteers to clean it all up. I'll spend some time tomorrow adding in new features to reduce the amount of spam. Since we've put the new forum online I've realised Akismet is no longer running on it, and there appears to be a couple of problems with new users being allowed to post links.

    [quote:27ji46ne]An interesting possible dilemma is when a previously plugin-exclusive feature becomes part of vanilla C2, or if a developer produces a plugin that is very close to a planned C2 feature that hasn't been rolled out yet.

    From our point of view (and I've discussed this with Ashley):

    If someone makes a plugin, that's a reasonable price, is well maintained, and includes a good amount of effort and functionality we don't see much reason to 'remake' it as an official plugin for Construct 2 for everyone.

    If someone does make a plugin, and we later on for some reason duplicate it in Construct 2 officially, we would probably delist the plugin from the store. It sounds harsh, but sellers of plugins should be aware this is a possibility. Once it's in Construct 2, we do not consider the plugin in the store to add value to customers.

    miu yes you can provide spriter assets, there are categories for that. I'm not sure I understand the second part of your question though?

    Important proposition change for Addons category

    Addons category includes, plugins, behaviours and effects.

    Looking at the current plugins in the store after chatting with Ashley we're proposing the following changes:

    • License changes from "Per Project" to "Per Developer". Makes more sense for this category, buy once and use in any projects you're developing forever.
    • Max price $5 USD. Current plugins are in the £15 - £20 range which we are not comfortable with. This is a significant % of the cost of a Construct 2 License. We're happy to allow plugins for a higher price than $5 USD but only with special permission and if we think it's justified. We also don't want potential customers for Construct 2 browsing our store and thinking that they will be locked into or tricked into having to buy expensive plugins once they own a license.

    What are peoples thoughts on this? We know plugin selling is a little controversial for some people, but we are going ahead allowing it for initial release. We would like feedback on these new limitations and changes though.

    Our store policy is no refunds at all, all sales are final. If legally obliged, we will process refunds but these instances are very rare.

    Chargebacks however can't be blocked. If someone makes a chargeback, the customer can often force a refund. We have little control over it, all we can do is provide as much information as we can to the card company and hope they resolve it in our favour.

    Chargebacks are *fairly* rare, and we do win them on occasion. We are definitely open to the idea of absorbing the chargeback fee as part of our service to sellers, however we want to see how it pans out at first and what the frequency of them are before we make any decision.

    RE the charges being scams on small value items, yes it is pretty much a scam from the banking sector. Charge back industry is a huge profit making machine. They should always offer merchant to provide 100% refund, or proceed with the £15 fee and chargeback process. It's wholy unfair for them to charge a £15 fee on a $3 purchase, AND force you to refund the $3 at the end of it as well. Just part of eCommerce unfortunately.
