The reasons I went pro

Hey guys, this is a good day for me I just bought pro (like 5 minutes ago :D). The main reason why I bought pro (other than supporting GameSalad of course) is for the links. I have ready a couple of good free games and I'm planning on linking those free apps to my paid ones. Look at epig rush by magonicolas He is reporting 400-700% increments in sales, although I'm sure results may vary that is great news. (So if you read this, congrats man)

The second main reason is because by reading the CEO letter I think the features coming next month or within the year especially game center is going to be pro only. And by making a few surveys having game center on an app it is actually a key aspect on the decision making to buy the app or not. Specially on casual "lets see whos got the highest score" kinda app, which are the ones that I normally make. So I think that is critical.

The third reason is that I'm doing this for a living now and I think you can call yourself a pro if what you are doing is putting food in your table lol.

IMO I went for the pro subscription because if you work hard the goodies (ipad 2 being a great goodie) will come in the near future and having pro helps your profits

Regards

Steve.

    Im Glad You Went Pro, Welcome!
    Nope, thats not my plan, that is a Simple Boost of Sales (I think that wont last forever, if it last a long time would be AWESOME), My Evil Plan Comes Later! and would be Great! Muahaha.

    Also, one Day ePig Rope went free for 2 days, And Sales Double and Triple for 3 weeks!
    50.000 Downloads of ePig Rope in 2 days, was great.

    Cheers.

    PS: I think my sales went up so much because All my games are of Eddie the Pig ePigGames, otherwise it boost would have been smaller.

    I think going Pro is a good decision now.

    • No splash screen
    • Hyperlinks

    Those are two great features. I haven't given up on iAds either, as my house-ads system seems to be a great compliment to iAds. It's a great way to promote your apps. In the next year, there should be additional features added to pro that will also add value to the software.

    A few months ago, I was doubtful if I would renew my Pro subscription. As of this moment, I think it is highly likely that I will renew. GameSalad is moving in the right direction.

    I agree 100% with this. One of the main reasons I took the leap.

    You may have to pardon my question, but just for clarity's sake, is that 50.000 as in fifty thousand downloads or fifty downloads?

    It may be a different because I am looking at that number and in Canada, the decimal is what sets the tens/hundreds/thousand columns.
