PollyPot Software Update On Donations/Pricing
I have been considering moving away from the Donationware model for nearly 12 months. The reason being is that the donations are very few and most people just take it and use it for free. There have however been some extremely generous people (you know who you are).
I am spending approx two days of my working week and most weekends, developing software for the flight sim community and it must now start paying its way or I will have to move onto other areas.
It has taken a colossal amount of time to produce the GoFlight Interface Tool for XPlane and this has been the final nail in the coffin for the donationware pricing model.
I do not want people who have donated in the past to feel cheated, so I am offering a Voucher Code system which you can use up to the full price of payware products that were once donationware. See this article for details.
Best wishes
Steve
