The point of just subbing for one year and after it ends you still own the last copy / release version you used is a very good idea!
I am still using my modded version of C2 and CC. I doubt that i will ever upgrade to C3 with the current pricing model. Its just a shame and i wont support this.
Im a man with a fulltime job and a real life. I can sit down and gamedev maybe one day a week.
And i wont pay so much money just to realise that my projects which take mostly over one year to develop will be not editable anymore unless i again pay for a whole year.
Once scirra went completely browser based i feel like.. nah better dont spend any money here anymore because what if scirra gets closed or just dies in some years.
Gamedev is a passion. And having your old projects secured WITH the binary to edit them is okay. But having the projects but the editor is GONE .. Nope thanks i wont have the feeling of having wasted so much years
