Yes, I am talking about third party modules. Our situation is that we have in house developers that could make the modifications we need to the Construct 2 projects, but since we cannot get licensing we are unable to do that. This is creating a situation where older games may be left abandoned since the original authors have moved on. We have been able to work with some who are still publishing content to get their help, but not everyone still supports their products after they have been on the market for years.

It doesn't seem very intuitive to not support a path forward to publishers like ourselves who are willing to pay for Construct 3 moving forward. I totally understand the need to sunset v2 but during this gap period it makes it difficult for content publishers who are utilizing Construct 2 projects without access to the ability to update to v3.

Another issue is there are a large number of purchasable Construct 2 titles on various sites that are basically going to be abandonware if they can't be opened or manipulated in Construct 3. Are we going to go through this again when Construct 4 comes out? My point is that it would be nice if there was a better upgrade solution in new versions other than "Sorry you can't load this any more."

Hello,

We are one of the unlucky ones who purchased Construct 3 after Construct 2 licenses are no longer available. Unfortunately this is causing no end of headaches for us. There is so much content published under Construct 2 that doesn't import properly into Construct 3 without the ability to open the capx files under Construct 2 and make modifications.

In many cases the authors of these Construct 2 projects have lost interest or support has sunsetted for games that we have licensed, and working with the original authors can be slow and cumbersome.

We contacted support and were told there is nothing that can be done, but I really think that there should be a way to issue Construct 2 license codes to Construct 3 users until it is officially done in July. This would give people time to convert old projects.

I can't be the only one with this problem.
