Free VS Pro

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
I want Pro so bad.... If it wasnt 500$ a year Id do it right now. But Im working on my first app now. I wish it was on pro so I could make it free and use iAds and url links for better advertsing...and the splash screen removal would be nice to. I guess Ill have to wait till I have 15 apps out there making me a lil money. I dont see how you guys can afford Pro at 500 a year. Thats alot of app purchases to break even on that purchase.

    I like to think of it as an investment in a hobby.

    If I started rock climbing, for example, I'd have to buy the equipment that goes with doing that!

    You're much better off making a good game and selling it anyway, as opposed to the free/iAds route imho.

    Hope that helps!

    QS :D

    I agree. I strongly agree if its a one time of 500 or hell a one time of 1500. But a continuous 500 a year? thats scary.

    But hell I spend more than 500 a year in my poker playing so what the hell.

    Thats the spirit.

    Although to be honest I prob wouldn't spend $500 unless I figure out how to make a better selling game.

    Think of it this way.
    Once you "pay" it, you get 12 months to publish a half decent app to get you booming. you make $250 that year. That means the pro membership only cost you $250.
    The next year you're better. You make $400 so far for both years it's cost 350.
    The next year you know everything there is about GS and you're making a min of $100 a day.
    now you've had over $30,000 profit on top of your day job.

    I think it's a good investment if you work off the long term plan ;)

    I just wish the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc years where cheaper, and not another $500.
    How about $500 the first year and then $250 each year after????
    Or something like that?

    Hey there Jeff,

    Pro is a must ... Removing the GS splash screen is so important. %00 is a lot to start off but you make that back with 2 downloads a day.

    :)
