In the interest of protecting my main account from being banned I am going use an alt account.
Here are a few facts we need to get straightened out:
1) There are substantial complaints about the pro version being buggy, I'm not going to quote any of them because if you go through the thread you'll see them.
2) There are claims that because pro features and the pro version are being prioritised, the free version is heavily delayed.
3) Moderators claim something happened with the team that's causing this drama, maybe the main / lead developer left the project ?
4) Moderators (specifically Erakay) and other veteran users claims that the free user base needs to remain patient as the developers are practically working for free. YET Erakay himself/herself has posted that the CF team doesn't really need the consumers money as they are wiping their behinds with $100 bills. Also, if it is really true that the developers are working for free, where are the $6 that people are paying on a monthly basis going ? (based on the $100 bills used on the behinds of the CF team, I'm assuming server costs are null)
There's a lot of conspiracy and lies surrounding this free version conversation.
I am a Systems Architect from Africa and you don't become a systems arch without knowing about programming and/or business.
Point #1
If you are going to lie to your consumers about your product, make it a controlled lie. You cannot have your moderation team claiming that the pro version is stable, or that there are problems with the dev team or that there are complications with the free product all at the same time. Tell the moderators as a collective to choose a lie and to die with it.
If it is that a lead developer has left the project, then by ALL means go out and try to hire a new one, the only way CF will thrive is (yes) if you prioritise the paying users over the free ones, because if you are (AT LEAST) working on the paid product then bugs will fade, new features will be added. That's how you sell to your free user base, and even at that, once the paid product is sorted you have more time to work on the free one. Everyone is happy at the end of the day, both paid and free users.
Point #2
CF needs to consider economic climates such as what steam does, why are you charging the whole world based on the dollar standard ? As I've mentioned, I am from Africa. 6$ to you is a meal at McDonalds (as someone mentioned earlier in this thread). 6$ in Africa is a fuck tonne (mind my French). For that amount I could pay for my transportation to work AND back for almost a week. The exchange rate almost compounds that amount. It's steps like these that make your customers more loyal to you above your competitors.
Point #3
If CF really is dying and the speculations are spot on. Do not be ashamed to give the project away, CF has built a name for itself and is trusted among other bots. If the team cannot sustain it anymore then by all means, hand over the source to someone else and let the project live. @ArcherQueen, from one dev to another, I know you wouldn't want to see your application die.
That's my 2cents
Thanks for reading
I appreciate the time you took to write all that and you've made your point, note that you posting on outdated version which 2 updated versions came after this, so most of your claims falls there.
Have a wonderful day
