[–] sigh@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (5 children) Bruh, you can’t spare two whole dollars for something you’re going to be using every day? Or, we can just like ...buy it once...like most other software that isn't tied to a first-party hosted service? The future is either free to use, but put up with ads, or pay a meager amount to support the developers so ads arent required to sustain the product. I'd like to unsubscribe from your vision of the future permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Pringles@lemm.ee 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) There will be an In-App Purchase later on. Keep in mind this is a beta and not the full release. For the beta the option is ads or ultra. For the full release it will be ads, pro (one time purchase) or ultra (subscription). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 years ago IMO that's a good way to go permalink fedilink source parent [–] erre@programming.dev 7 points 3 years ago (1 child) In this scenario you'd pay for updates though right? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sentau@lemmy.one 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Well games receive patch fixes and even content updates after release and most of them are pushed through to the people who purchased the game at no extra costs. Yes dlc's do require you to purchase them but updates that fix bugs and improve performance resulting in an improved experience are usually free of cost permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] erre@programming.dev 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Well it's been updated with a one time payment purchase option. That'll get you updates with no recurring costs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Sentau@lemmy.one 1 point 3 years ago Yeah I know.

Ultra is voluntary and only for super fans to support the developer. There will be a pro version that is a one time payment and it removes all the ads and is very affordable. But the developer didn't want to start charging for the Pro version while bugs still exist and is waiting for the Beta to be over. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ffolkes@fanexus.com 4 points 3 years ago The option to remove ads has been added - it costs $20 USD.
