Wait... you made C2 all on your own? Holy moly I wasn´t aware of that. I always struggle sticking with a project as soon as I hit a couple months of work :V
As a note to piracy. I used to pirate C2 for a while (pls don´t ban me, lol). I kinda was at a point where I needed to keep my money together for education. I obviously tried the free version first and just thought... wow I hate beeing limited, even though I was just toying around. I liked C2 and after beeing able to really try it as a whole with no limits, my liking grew until I caved in and bought it. So in some way, piracy may have been a contributor to why I stuck with (and still stick to) Construct. Nowadays, as pointed out, there are many more free options with no limits that I could just have picked instead, potentially ending up not beeing here.
I always had the intention that if I end up with a project that I want to release in some capacity, I´d have bought a license anyway. If I make money, you get money sounded fair to me. (Kinda flawed argument but eh...) And to this day, I haven´t made any significant money with Construct, guess that didn´t work out exactly as planned. (Well, I always have something cooking but you know...)
What I did gain was a lot of experience and knowledge, about programming logic, about communicating with a server (AJAX), about using server-side scripting, PHP, SQL, JS, math, nodeJS, Firebase, Admob, App-development general and probably much more that I just can´t quite think of now. Most of that stuff also wasn´t planned, but I´m not complaining.
