    Thanks, @TreySmith for the response! Means a lot! :D

    That makes a bit of sense. I just wish there was a price plan that I could afford XD. $999 a month is just too much a month for me to dish out with student loans and other bills needing to pay.

    Also, I have emailed support but I have been wondering if regular BB subscribers get access to the BB3 beta or if it is just MC2 purchasers that get it?

    But if no one buys from Starbucks, they would have to lower their coffee prices

    Well, we DO get to see that the software DOES have success with its customers. over 100 BB games have hit the top 100. It is a chunk of cash of course but you have to realize what youre investing into. You can make way more than that back. Of course not everyone has the cash, even 999 payment plan. We can all sit here and say what we wish would happen etc etc, but the fact still remains that BB is NOT a failure and is rising quickly every day. My goal is to pay the monthly, work my arse off and make my creations pay for the software. THEN if they still offer a one time purchase for 2500 or whatever it is, just buy it and get it over with. Then create create create. I do agree however, that all the MC1 $6,000 payers should get any of the part 2 softwares free. Versus charging them for an update patch lol. I would have given all of them BB3 free as well. It was their money that gave BB the financial boost it needed back then. Those few that paid the 6k should be treated like kings forever from that point forward. Its digital software....you have INFINITE copies of it, so its not like you lose anything. And better yet, it allows those people to maybe make hits finally.....Which promotes BB. Either way, i have no complaints because i couldn't buy the software even if i wanted to lol.

    I agree that Buildbox is a success, but have you seen ANY hit game that uses Animationbox? Or anything from the Masters Collection 1?

    lol. Well, this new software will certainly be used a lot once you come up with the cash. The old MC1 was a good start but i dont know anyone who used it at all. personally. I dont really get to speak on these topic anyways, i dont even have a regular BB subscription anymore. Want to, but cant. *feels pain because he cant access customers only section anymore*

    MC2 customers will get the first Beta by the end of the year.
    Regular subscribers will get future Betas, closer to release once the software is more stable.

    The price is not too high, people's average sales, but at the same time according to his popularity,If the price is very popular, I can accept the price at $1000

    But i meant it as in the people who have the monthly subscription should also get this "upgrade" for free because we are paying more.

    I for one would have liked to see this as a bolt on for monthly subs. I.e for additional $ a month you can lease MC2

    You know I only use it like a hobby and I wasn't going to get it, but trey is like the godfather and made me an offer to good to refuse. Still have a lot of question about the 3D capabilities by I'm sure all will be reviled in time as 3D modeling is my background !
    It was a great sales pitch so top marks on that !

    One thing guys, if you are short of money don’t buy software that you can’t afford. Buildbox is a cool software and yes, some games made it to the top. But that’s not because of Buildbox but because they had an excellent marketing (and the game was good). Buildbox is not a cash machine. Just to make that clear to all therookies out there. 99.9% of us game developers fail at getting rich. There is no easy way of making money. And to market your game is one of the most difficult tasks which needs A LOT of money. So if you don’t have any left or you are not even able to pay your other bills do yourself a favor and don’t buy expensive software. :)

    Just thought I would mention that as well because when I started 3 years ago to make games I believed all this nonsense of making easy money with games. But I learned the hard way that the game industry is one of the most competitive and difficult ones in the world. And I’m saying that after having worked for over 15 years in the film industry before.

    All I know is after 2 emails and a post if support doesn't contact me to get this running on my desktop then I'm cancelling my transaction within 48 hrs...
