I have really come to love donationware over payware.Usally the cost.But what your saying makes much sense. I fell for this once(since then I ask around)I paid the donation asked,got the product.Two things happend that I thought was un-fair. 1,When the next product came out (less than 60 days after donation)I was unable to recieve it.2,I tried to re-download the original product about 6 months later and was told a donation was needed .
But again I have had the same thing happen with payway.
The donation ware of the SSW is not so, you can freely download the product, then use it for a short time (we plan to extend it over time) and decide whether or not it is worth making the donation.
In fact, many do so, we have a ratio of 1 to 10 to those who download and those who make the donation.
The model is already complete after downloading, the donation enables the unlimited use of the model and gives the right of access to the support and the add-on.
Hope this clarifies.
cheers.
