I might still use EE for small android games like misled balls, but for my rpg mmo-wanna-be I don't feel safe to stay here anymore. And I'm sorry about it, but I don't move to the subscription system and most of all I'm afraid Esenthel can plug the plug of EE 2.0 at any time with that "no support or waranty of any kind" part of the licence agreement.
I don't want to prove anything, and I'm really sorry to leave, but I still think this wasn't the best business move. (and I'm just saying a kind of goodbye, but I know others that left too because of the same reasons...). and most of all, I'd like to apologise to Pixel for never managing to put up that showcase
.
What pixel said about EE v2 is 100% correct.
I can't find the post, I can't remember the thread it was in.. too many, but he clearly stated that (from memory): as long as he's a web site is up, EE v2 users will be able to continue using EE v2.
I'm not a fan of the subscription model either but this one is to everyone's benefit.
Get the source license, It gives you access to the source for a year.. after that (
as I understand it) if you don't need the upgrades you're not forced to buy it again and you '
could' use it AS-IS (no update/access to source) by removing the license checking code.
Also, if you think Greg is a risk, yes hard to understand why he does somethings over others.. but that's his discretion, and not a risk.. he does work hard on personal feature request.
And If anything this v3 fiasco has show is that he is very willing to listen and act on community input.
Good luck finding a better RPG engine.. EE is heavily focused on RPG with a very mature feature set... and that's worth the price alone.
I haven't had the time to get into EE lately but I troll to see what everyone is up to.
Good luck regardless.
