I really hope Corona team will have some similar offer, otherwise i'll have to go back to A6, because i can't justify to pay such money for hobby alone.
Aren't all alphas scheduled to stop working by the end of the year? I guess us hobbyists will have to say goodbye to Corona.
Do you think hobbies should be free ? I am asking in good faith :- ) It's one of the more interesting topics I picked up here, not wish to sideline discussion, just interests me a bit. Cheers
I don't really understand why so many hobbyists are complaining about Corona pricing if they can afford 3ds Max.. (or can they..?) Correct me if I'm wrong but the only option to use 3ds Max legally for free is by using a student license and if you are a student you can get Corona really cheap. Or if you have acquired 3ds Max some other way you can still use Corona for 20-25 EUR/month.
I live in a quite poor country myself and of course I'd like everything cheap, but 20-25 EUR for my hobby per month is not something I would consider really high. For example my monthly pass for public transport costs 40% more. All my other hobbies and interests cost way more than Corona.
I think in the long run even a hobbyist can make profit with Corona.
For me the pricing seems reasonable(but I'm no expert) because Corona seems to be a high quality software with regular updates, so I would say that these guys deserve that much. And as others said, it is not really common for a company to discuss pricing.
Edit: Of course it would be great if Corona would have a limited free version but it is not easy to decide what limitations should be applied to a free version so I can understand why the developers did not go there yet.
