Ashley its the first time im seeing this you sell a product for years now theres 3-4 major things community wants like crazy but you dont care that much you build a huge wall to these features and you sell it again "rebuilding it from the ground up". i really in my 33 years of existence dont see or remember any company with this denial and this marketing failure.
and Tom especially you wrote this "We've got a lot to show today, and over the coming weeks. I understand pricing is a contentious issue for some people."
really? for some people? i think you are in different world. Some people find it logic the majority has arguments and catastrophic behavior. its the behaviour close to platform behaviour. for example:
when sprite A---- gives money for construct 3 every year----- then catastrophic behavior enabled
when catastrophic behaviour enabled------sprite A delete
I do remember everyone talking similarly about our decision to export to HTML5 only being a catastrophic and short sighted decision but it worked out fine. We're taking a risk here we know, but we're confident with out decisions so far. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
