I've had construct 2 for like 5-6 years now?
That would be $500+
So by your own reckoning youve had 5-6 years of bug fixes and improvements, all for one price. Thats not bad value.
Like I said, myself, I'm not using construct daily. It's mostly a prototype tool. I would LOVE to develop full games with it but no exporters has really hurt my development. It seems intel and cocoon always have some issue or another.
So does every other game making platform. There has never ever been a service or workflow that has been 100% bug free all the time. Its impossible. I will admit you have to wrestle with packaging services quite a bit, but that isnt 100% on Scirra.
If I was a daily construct user. My income was coming from my use of construct 2, yes $100 a year isn't much, I still wouldn't like it but I would be fine with that price. For everyone else that isn't a daily user or isn't selling their work from construct 2 the subscription model is incredibly hard to justify.
Ill say it again and again: Theres no gun pointing at anyones head. Continue using C2 or the free C3. The only people here that stand to lose anything with the subscription model is Scirra.
