wmsgva I partially agree with your opinion about licenses. From my (the user's) perspective I'd love to have all the features of C3 for a personal license, for a one-time fee, be able to activate it on all my computers, even offline (just like with C2). And teams or companies would require to buy the more expensive ones. On the other hand I'd also like Scirra to make as much money as possible and expand with their awesome engine.
Xeeko I didn't use CTF enough to form a valid opinion about it's event system, but from what I see (read) most of the users say that their event system is very outdated and somewhat limited. I guess it's just comes down to preference.
Ashley You're right, but in my opinion the multiplayer feature did good for the marketing of the engine (I'm just guessing, you're the one who sees the numers though).
