![]() Same for audio software, video, whatever. There simply isn't anything left to add to warrant upgrade prices, so they want to force you into software rental instead of ownership. That is why they and a lot of other companies want subscription. There is pretty much no functional difference between Maya 2018, Maya 2015 or Softimage 2015 vs. Right now they only offer subscription and prices are insane, so I quit the whole thing, but at least I can continue to use the latest version I had registered when I let my maintenance contract expire. Fortunately enough people complained about it, so they decided to let us use Softimage perpetually. Then they decided to kill off Softimage and tried to force everybody to switch to their other 3D programs, Maya or 3DS Max. Never used it because you had always been able to do exactly the same thing by holding down the S key and using your mouse to rotate. In those 5 years I think they added some 3D cube in the upper right corner which you could click on and rotate to rotate the view. Gave me continuous access to all new features and so on. That is pretty much the same as subscription. I paid on average $700 each year, for about 5 years, to Autodesk for maintenance of Softimage ( 3D modeling and animation ). ![]() Another thing it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't leave Construct 2 in the terrible shape that it's in. hmmmmm Oh! I got it, BY SELLING COPIES OF CONSTRUCT 3!!!Ī Subscription model doesn't mean you'll get a better product or that the company will grow, All it's done is alienate half of the community. "How is Scirra gonna pay their developers? Their families?" "You want things for free" No he didn't say for free, If you actually read what he wrote he's talking about PAYING FOR THE ENGINE!Īlso another thing is yeah anyone can learn C# or Java or any of that, But Construct is a TOOL! People have the right to express their opinion and honestly who cares what you get tired of king nothing. "Really, I get tired of this kind of threads showing up from time to time." Deal with it, Many people don't like the subscription model and no one is forcing you to read these type of post or even better make a stupid comment. but there is a lot of customers and new customers show up all the time.Ī Tool shouldn't be based on if the company is doing good or not, That's just bad design.Īlso what are these new features? I haven't seen much of anything except for a hand full of things but defiantly nothing that suggest $100 a year from every customer they have. Sorry but they're a company not an employee working for a company. Also that whole " your boss pay you one time" is bad logic. A better engine will draw more customers which keeps the influx of money going without having to charge someone every year. Plenty of companies run off of buy a product once model so that whole argument is dumb. I'm not gonna lie this is a stupid argument. You want things for free but only the sun goes up for free every day and even that will come to an end in the very far future. Your bad internet is a very poor excuse and you know it. Lets see how long Nelostic will be happy. And when you finally finished your game, give it for free to the internet. Both languages are free, you do not have to pay anything. Really, I get tired of this kind of threads showing up from time to time.ĭo you know what if you don't have the money, learn JavaScript, Python and code your game yourself. The subscription model will guarantee Scirra a constant flow of revenue which on its turn can be used to add new features, platforms and pay the developers.ĭo you really want to use a tool with a very insecure financial future or doesn't it matter as long as you can hack and clone around? The subscription model is so much better than the lifetime licenses for C2. Or does that not matter as long as you have your one time payment. Tell me when the initial one time payment source is drying up, how will Scirra find the funds to add new features, constantly improve. How is Scirra gonna pay their developers? Their families? That is exactly what you are asking from Scirra with your one time payment. How many months are you gonna work for that boss for that one time salary? Imagine you working for your boss and your boss pays you only one month. When I am in Botswana, there is only a very poor internet connection and I can use Construct 3 without any problem.Ī one time payment kills the resources for the developer fast.
