Hi I am very sad that you don't like this discount.
Oh, okay, let's begin, that was not the point, because if you did the "discounts" without bullshit, I wouldn't be here complaining.
No, I think the bullshit is the misunderstanding you have due to the too paranoid distrust.
I just hope you understand: in response to the some people's complain that it is too expensive, I tried already my very best to extend the price range to cover the people who are just a little insterested and don't want to pay much.
The point of the complain was that you are implying that people only need to pay 5 EUR for a license to your plugin(which is correct), when in fact, they need to wait another month on your Patreon with the same license(yes, it is quite fair), making it so that they need in the end to pay the same exact amount of money as your 10 EUR tier for a license(no clue why you think so, you can very well cancel your pledge and receive the license key you ordered 4 weeks ago ).
Every license has to be manually calculated so waiting a month...
Care to explain how and so? From the little I know you went the extra amount of time to make sure it'll only work on a single computer at any time(yes, and what do you want to say?), so that's really on your end of the decisions, but I don't know the rest, so I'll wait for your answer on this part.(What answer you are wait for? Every license has to be manually generated according to machine code to avoid pirate abuse which will kill this project sooner or later, this anwser?)
....is very appropriate and fair for people who bought license at 20euros who are the key supporters of the development of this software from the beginning.
Let's be real here. I remember very clearly that when you launched this plugin, you did a "first supporters discount." Most of them sold out, for the "license" part. So don't even try to use the "20 euro supporters" excuse here, because if I recall correctly, you need to pay the "20 euro supporter" license once then you need to pay the update tier if you want update , you have to join the update support tier. Which means, trying to use the 20 euro supporters as a way to support your argument isn't very honest of you.(The very first batch of patrons joining the early-patron discount got the license at 10 euro, others bought license at standard 20 euro later, for either of them, it is unfair that now people expect getting the same license at only 5 euro without waiting. I hope it is simple enough for you to understand this argument, both the 10euro and 20euro batch of patrons are the key supporters enabling me developing this software so far, what is the problem here?)
If you are so mean calculating the 5 euro ending up with 10 euro, you can still wait until Oct 1st to avoid it, right? You are just not so interested in this and you dont want to pay much, it is ok.
Nice try here. I am interested, thing is, if you want to start with tricking people with a discount, of course anyone would be at very best objected, or feel offended. So please, don't try to paint me as a detractor or anything here. Thank you.
It is NOT a trick! As I said, you get the license you orderd 4 weeks ago no matter you are my active patron or not, I dont understand the paranoid distrust here. Even if you distrust me, you can still go around the "trick" by waiting for Oct 1st, right? Honestly from my PoV, 20 euro is just a normal lunch price for something you are really insterested, I would not think too much. If you are just a little curious, it is absolutely fine to throw 5 euro and wait to see and also fine to wait to try it at begining of next month to avoid any concern.
