Perhaps, but it's mainly pointing FPS games.
I'm not it will be as easy for some Space Shooter, RPG game ???

Well the price is increased : new comer will pay 179$ and the people that baught it 99$ will have to pay 69$ to get the update
They could have been clear from the beginning.

But like you said, it's not very very hight price for an indie engine.

You have just to hope they don't change their mind each 3 months or each new upgrade by :
- Price increasing
- come back of Royalties license

Or any other money plan ...

I find their commercial strategy very like : "catch the fish"
-They put a very attractive price : 99$
-They planned to gain money , by just putting :
YOU PAY 69$ MORE IF YOU WANT NEXT UPGRADE

They should fix the price for upgrades with clear numbers fisrt to all people like :
Each Version 1.0 + or 0.5 + you'll have to pay an upgrade.

Furthermore it's just a little upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 and you already have to pay ???

Let's see how they will do in the future ?
For 1.3 or 1.4 you'll have to pay some more 69$ perhaps ...

I don't need this engine, not that outstanding , very buggy, like i said i don't leike the lightening, and the little bugs here and here when you do simple things !!

I just pass !
