The Likely Misuse of English

Post by Mor3bane »

I am absolutely 110% positive 99villages is NOT "selling" their "Neon Space" Skin Suite.

Just for the record.

There are many ways to be different - there is only one way to be yourself - be amazing at it

The law of averages says what it means; even if you get everything right, you will get something wrong. Therefore; self managing error trapping initiates another set of averages - amongst the errors, some of them will not be errors, instead those instances will appear to be "luck". One cannot complain of the 'appearance' of 'infinite regress of causation', even if it does not have a predictable pattern, only that it requires luck to achieve.

@ Mor3bane

Yes, you can download a limited free version of Neon Space, BUT the author is offering a fully functioning PRO version for a price...

The OP says he recently purchased the PRO version, which should entitle him to support from the author (whether that's included in the price ??) I feel this suite is a bit of a tease, offering more features only if you pay.

In my opinion, the reply from the developer was appropriate and in keeping with the free and open spirit of these forums.

The author can gain from his creation, but in that case, also support his paying users.

Ah, ok, eclectic tech.

Fair enough.

I found the free version versatile enough so did not explore further.

Yes, I too have tried the free version, and have even recommended it when asked for "futuristic" skin examples. :)

The author did create some very attractive skins, and I do not have an issue with how they decide to offer them, or recommending them to others; but I just feel they should handle user issues, if they are being paid. :x

Agreed - take pay - cover off on user issues. Most certainly.

My own suite Round Machine 2 is approaching 5000 downloads since Jan 2017 - no one comments - but I am available for support as I check regularly - and mine IS 100% free.
