Leaving GameSalad & Account Giveaway

Hey there,
Due to the new GameSalad Direct announcement I've decided I do not want to work with Gendai and its product/service any longer.
I do not want to invest in something that can drasticly change without warning.
GameSalad Direct will hinder both Gendai and all of the GameSalad developers.
I cannot have my brandname, I cannot change prices, I cannot get paid directly. That is TERRIBLE.
In my opinion it is the worst change Gendai could make for the developers (other than taking all of the developer's money and running, that is).
In light of these changes I'm leaving GameSalad. I've had more success with Corona. It is reliable, and frequently updated.
If you'd like my GameSalad Account (which is Express and is good until January) please leave a post here with your email and why you'd like the account.
Thank you,
Andreas Ricci
EDIT: I will choose who I give the account to when this topic gets enough response (atleast 5 - 10 people wanting my account).

You are correct: That quote sums up my decision perfectly.
I simply can't work with a product that has no definite roadmap and can change on a dime.
I want it because at 15 I aint loaded! Plus I want to establish my brand at a young age

For example, people have been asking for a pause functionality since GameSalad was first released. Instead of implimenting pause they work on other aspects like GameSalad Direct which, although -could- be a good thing, mostly affects the developers negatively.
I cannot work with a company that doesn't put its customers (us) first.
None the less, I'd love your account. I'm to poor to afford one and yet I've been using GS for about 8 months.
I certainly don't want to do anything against the GS T&C's.

If it is against the Terms I will gladly follow them.
However I am not looking to gain anything from giving this account away - I don't see how it harms Gendai in any way.

Feel free to email me through the contact page of my company website: http://www.atbydesign.com
All emails there go straight to me. I'd prefer to not post my email address in a public forum such as this.
so no one get your hopes up of seeing the actual engine update for the next month.....

yes...and terms of use states:
Gendai Games reserves the right to change its fees and billing methods at any time, provided that if you pay a yearly subscription fee for the Gendai Games Services, Gendai Games will provide you with notice of any changes to the fees or billing methods at least thirty (30) days in advance by posting notice of such changes on or through the Gendai Games Services.
where was our 30-day notice before the yellow postie?

So we should have had 30 days before the chance to refresh our express accounts was cut off?
And they could possibly (minute possibility) be altering a few things.
I would wait, but again, I understand where you're coming from, and not hearing anything after dropping a bomb like that can be frustrating.
This is actually part of a good compromise. At the least, it would slow the exodus. Existing subscribers would be here at least a year. After a year, people might actually like GameSalad Direct® or maybe Gendai Games would realize that the subscription model shouldn't be abandoned.
Not shooting anything down by any means.
Just worth a quick check to make sure.

After having a lot of fun with GS and thanks to all the people who helped me out along the way
and buying Photics book I am left with nothing. Bummer.
If you are talking to me that would be great of course but
I have not gotten a PM, so I am not sure. Here is my e-mail just in case:
jspruch@optonline.net
I was interviewed for it.

We have Apple Dev accounts for a reason and were using this platform under the impression that we would NOT be having to pay royalties to GameSalad.
My company and I both wish to be able to track our sales freely and transparently and would like to retain our hard earned 70%
I think also that having no ability to have our games directly accessible in the App Store and to only be available in a GameSalad publisher wrapper (ala comixology style) is highly restrictive to our games exposure to the greater iOS customer community.
Where are the details GS??
Why are the rumours flying and no one from GS actually giving the real facts about the "new" regime? There are questions that should be answered here I feel, by the people who can a should be answering them.
