  • What makes the Addon SDK v2 so important that it's worth breaking all 3rd party plugins?

    If I understood correctly, v2 is mainly to prevent plugin developers from using undocumented APIs.

    In other words, you value your control more than the projects of your customers.

    Your engine is so slow on Android and iOS; you complain of lacking time to accommodate the most requested essential features, but still have time for this?

    Stop lying to us!

      Ending compatibility disasters that ruin customer's projects.

      • By creating a compatibility disaster ruining EVERY customer's project ?

        I'm using 4 years old add-ons and it's fine. If one break by accident, it's likely it would be fixable in some way by renaming a function or rewriting a little chunk of the code.

        But soon, EVERY addon will break, EVERY addon will need to be rewritten from scratch and some of them (all the best ones) won't be possible to port.

          Customer projects will continue working fine if addon developers co-operate and update their addons to the SDK v2.
