Alpha is only available to hackers at the top 2 tiers. Beta will be available to all backers at some point before December. Initially only for backers, but then at some point for demo users for FGU Ultimate backers.

Hackers?

Edit: Count me in! :o

Only if they're really good hackers.

Are top tier hackers good enough?

I can just imagine a bunch of NSA folks sitting around laughing at us poor sods who had to wait for the KS!

Not to complain too much, but I'm kinda disappointed the upgrade difference between me, who bought FG in may 2017 for $39, and someone buying it fresh is only $6.

You've had FG for 2ish years. Presumably you've received value from having it.

I mean I could complain to because I bought it back then but the way I look at it is that I have been enjoying the product more then someone who would have bought it say yesterday. In all honesty I feel like the people who have had it for a long time should step up and support Smiteworks more then your new person because they have yet to see what the potential of this VTT can do. I donated more then what was required, not to pat myself on the back, but because I see the potential for what can be accomplished now that we are moving to a 64 bit program

I honestly fail to see the logic in this approach. It's like saying people who've been loyal for longer are worth less to you than those who just rocked up. Generally, if you want to retain respect of loyal users who've been with the community for a long time, making them pay more than someone who just walked in to buy a little while ago is a pretty daft way to go about it. For Ultimate users, the difference is quite literally double the price for a longer user, and half that for the newer one. I'd love to know the reasoning behind this, and the excuse above about having had more value from FGC is a bit of a cop out, don't you think?

I don't get people sometimes. Congratulations on a successful KS!

No, it isn’t. Long time users have had years of absolutely free updates. New users have not.
