So... the Kickstarter is now fully funded x10+.
I'm not concerned about beta access... any idea on pricing when Unity goes live? Any idea if it will be more or less than the Kickstarter upgrade prices? I've been using Fantasy Grounds since 2004, which means I'm in the category that gets screwed the hardest on pricing... not sure I understand why, but...
whatever. Still looking forward to Unity.A.J.

"I am," said Aslan. "But there I have another name. You must learn to know me by that name. This was the very reason why you were brought to Narnia, that by knowing me here for a little, you may know me better there.

From my understanding, after the Kickstarter closes, and FG Unity is released, the pricing will be about the same as the current pricing for FG Classic is now.
If you can afford it, buy the FG Unity license during the Kickstarter for a discount.

How are you getting screwed? You've have the software since 2004. A $60 upgrade is nothing.

You pay more because you've gotten your money's worth from the current platform, while newer customers likely JUST paid for their's and have hardly delved into the program. Since they will likely use the newer program more, why not give them the discount they deserve. Originally Posted by merkvah
Also, rejoice! The new program will come out soon, so we will all get to enjoy it for a MORE than fair price. Giving those of us that have had it for years a more than 50% reduction in price is INSANE! Thank you, SmiteWorks! You folks rock!

Mate, pay full price if you think nearly half is "screwed hardest". I won't argue with your math. Originally Posted by merkvah

Wow - now I know why so many software companies are moving to subscription only pricing. I don't remember Microsoft giving me a discount for having Office 2003 when I upgraded to Office 2016. Originally Posted by merkvah

Let's not get back into the debate on pricing and discount tiers. We've gone round and round on that for dozens and dozens of posts and it is now addressed in the KS FAQ.
Ramza, nice catch on the pricing update on teh KS. Good to know for sure what the post KS prices will be.

I pay $60. Someone who bought it last year pays $30. Originally Posted by lostsanityreturned
