Ok, as much as I don't like the Idea of subscription. From a business point, it is the better way to go. Hey, instead of buying a pizza that week spend it on a subscription. I believe that Josh is putting a lot of work into this. And I guess if you are as brilliant as Josh, then build your own game engine. I also believe people are just scared of a subscription cause it is kind of new. But to pay a little money a month and keep Josh working on the engine is more of a sure thing than a one payment.
Anyway I for one will be getting a subscription. It is worth it, for something most of us enjoy doing.
