    @TreySmith Does paying in installments for Buildbox with the final payment due at the end of this month qualify as free upgrade within the "45 days" if v2 gets released in Dec?

    Yes, any subscription gets access to version 2 on release day.

    Seems subscription is better choice?!

    Subscription = $1200 per year
    Purchased = $2675 for two years?! (even higher if chose payment plan, like I did)

    I feel that those who purchased full are not seeing any great benefit here!

    I purchased the full version about a year ago... :(

    so lets have a look buildbox cost $2675 which over two years is $111 a month. and subscription is $99 a month. ill assume that every two years there will be a new version of build box which will either be more the same price or more than original version. think ill be looking at subscription for my self.

    Yes. Definitely going with the subscription. I think Buildbox just nailed it at the sweet spot with this model. Thank you.

    Probably a little off topic: how many downloads must one have to get at least the money from the software back? I'm new to the game business and see that a lot of new games (including Buildbox made) do not get much downloads at all.

    If I had chosen a subscription... I would have BB 2.0 (in Dec) and would have only paid (approx) $1300 to date!!!

    @Christoph to be fair different games with the same amount of downloads will earn different money as have different ways of earning revenue but i can say i released mr umbrella which got world wide feature using build box got 500000 downloads can't disclose figures but it more than covered the software.

    Not gonna lie, feeling a little jaded.

    Day after I bought the full license, you announced subscriptions without prior warning. :/

    Three months later and it's another $1300+ to upgrade. :/

    You can switch over to subscription if you don't want to pay the upgrade price

    So then I paid $2600 three months ago to switch to monthly now?!?! What sense would that make? I just chucked $2300 in the TRASH if I switch to monthly now.

    If you are upset about your purchase I recommend you take it up with support@buildbox.com please.
