The more I think about this, the more I wished we WOULD all just sign off, let them consider what that means, I think I read a PR statement that they had 70,000 users even with only have paid that is 35,000 times 100 (change attribute money to zero.) but at 35K times 100 bucks a pop that is 3.5 million, what did these guys do, they are two years old, so they threw that money out the door. Thinking, 10 programmers, 100K per year, 1 mill per year, they have no phone, or at least not one they spend much on, their office is not big deal so 2K a month for that, another 5K for stuff, that is 84K per year in overhead so they have about 1.1 million left in the bank, huh, I would never have sold out to an investment group, I would have poured all the revenue back into more programmers, and some customer service and a real phone and attracted MORE users, and then raise the price once the program was out of Beta, to 300 bucks, I would have added all the goodies and bingo, home run, touchdown, goal,>
Computer nerds are great for ideas but suck at money issues. I think they have been having parties non stop and did not invite us. Hell I would have chipped in 20 bucks for brew.
I am signing off and forgetting the whole thing until you smarter than me guys, (large group) figure it out. I got two games to finish before I share the profits with someone else. shees.
This sounds alot like Obamacare you gonna take it Weather u like it or not but that's another subject lol Can we please slow down I'm only on page 16 and losing ground
Wow, just logged in to see this. I'm shocked. Pay per publish, fine... but being forced to publish under the GS name? Not cool, unless they put some VERY strict quality control processes in play.

Not to mention the unknown % you share with GS. Making $10 would bring you less than $5, if GS took 30%.
Over 700 posts in this and a bunch of other threads after 9 hours of digital chaos, and we have two yellow posts to show for it.
They drop the biggest bomb in the middle of the room and watch us scatter without saying a word? I've even emailed my direct contacts a few times today, not a single reply.
I'm really concerned if they're going to try to take on the task as an imposed publisher.
You wanna be my publisher? You're going to have to start with better communication, and I don't mean terse and cryptic messages in oddly-timed yellow-framed bursts.

This is exactly what they are doing. You now have a Pimp. He tells you where to publish..what to publish...and when and how much you get paid...and you take all the risk.
So point in sticking around with this scenario.
Codemonkey claims they are working on an official response...to "CLARIFY" things. Not sure what there is to clarify...since we are now their "working girls".

This entire thing is a huge joke, and a catastrophe! Can we pretend this didn't happen, delete this thread, and start over?

From his message, it seems to say we will not have the Game Salad splash screen on each of our games. I'd still like to publish under my own label, but as one of the topics in this thread is the GS load screen, I thought I'd "vocalize" my observation.

I am just surprised that the powers that be at GameSalad really thought we would like this 'new' plan. Outrageous. I am a VERY small little developer that is doing this more for a hobby and I think it just STINKS!

Oh well, uninstalled GameSalad since I joined today and cannot even use it.

Weather u like it or not but that's another subject lol
Can we please slow down I'm only on page 16 and losing ground
It's all a bit much for me
Hopefully there will be a yellow post full of specifics as well!

Lol, thanks for the observation, but I don't think people are concerned about the splash screen anymore.
