please keep these posts in the main thread, or one of the other two threads. I know everyone is pretty charged up about the change, but we don't want 100s of individual threads opening up.

i have not used the viewer in a long time, but for process testing it should be fine. You can install multiple viewers no problem. I used to have it on my iPhone/iPad and my wife iPhone.

I just want to make sure I understand - paying $20/month with the basic membership, I can't publish an IPA to test on my iPad?

Here is a suggestion, make sure to watch it till the end, only 33seconds.

2 weeks of free use + a month at $19 is pocket money territory, I expect any kid genuinely passionate about getting into game design will find a way to scrape together $4 or $5 a week.

"Discounts" and "VERY affordable" are translated as "Cost money" to our students. Parents will pay for results they see now. That is one reason wh

almost finished .. it took me 6 months to learn how make an ok game with GS and I would've never paid for those 6 months considering that my income is really low atm and I learnt how to use it in tho

My plan was to flood the MarketPlace with very low quality Flappy Bird templates and use the money to get back onto Pro, but looks like the MarketPlace might not be happening now, or at least not in t
