That idea wasn't liked very much as it creates problems with the licensing as you would need to change everything everytime you buy an additional feature and so on...

Although such a modular version would be fun indeed...

It is up to Conitec and whatever they call the license.
They can extract (if possible) the feature to a standalone
file, just update once and apply to all, and it will increase
their sales I think

Extra - 99
Commercial - 199
Enterprise - 699
Pro - 899

Enterprise is the pro edition as yet known, pro will be shipped with source code. That would be cool, wouldn't it

How about adding:

Turbo Deluxe Edition - $449999 (Pro plus one visit by JCL)
Deluxe - $249997 (Pro plus I'll come over an sleep on your couch one night)
Good Enough - $129777 (Pro plus you get to feed JCL's dog for a week)

free PLE edition
$100-$200 indie (now known as commercial, but with all pro features, only publishing limitied, no commercial publishing license)
$3000 pro -as you said, if someone really wants to be commercial, 700 or 3000 doesn't count.

and i'd like a separate comm publishing license, around 200-500 maybe. most user just play with 3dgs and release their software for free. only some have one big commercial project. it a publishing license would cost 500 plus 200 indie license, we would have nowaday's PRO again, so no lost for conitec, only a gain for its users as they get all the features.

Where did you get that?

jcl's post. thought a bit further.

i didn't find the tools that helpful in a6 so i always thought a pro edition without the tools would be nice. ...but i guess the tools will become more useful again with fbx support for levels and the new map compiler and so on.

actually the current editions are very ok. there is something for everyone even a free fully functional lite-c (for non-commercial use)!

3dgs without tools (3dg minus s) edition... that sounds good! but i guess that's what conitec intended with the free lite_c edition, it got no med, and since we can't use fbx directy, there has to be an mdl converter (med has never been more for me than that).

but conitec, what about my proposal, designing an "indie" edition with all pro features but with commercial publishing disabled? you could equip it with an built-in disclaimer like the msvc author edition (pops up a messagebox befor starting the actual game) or a 4 sec ingame splashscreen or whatever.
