Hi Yohandy, The problem with charging a monthly fee for the use of Genesis is I have to have a way to insure payment from the subscribers and a way to deactivate the product if they don't pay up. With software like Genesis the only way that could work is offer a monthly product key which would unlock the editor for one month before expiring. Obviously, something like this would get really tedious especially since once Genesis 3D is finished it will be my primary development tool. Generally subscriptions are ok for big RPG games, internet book clubs, etc as you can easily suspend the account for the user until payment is recieved. With a software product they don't work out that easy. It would require monthly downloads, product keys, and no developer is going to want to download a new version every month just to maintain a subscription. Though, it might work out alright if it was a yearly subscription. Then again, a yearly subscription will dramatically increase costs lumping all 12 months into one lump sum. Again most people won't pay do to the price tag.
