Guess I'll need to fork out before Feb 28... no way I'm paying $79 for something that's been free for so long.

i dont know how you can be a big supporter if you are not paying for the software. Now it is the opportunity to be a "BIG" supporter by buying a lot of licenses.

damn I took that software for granted all these years :(

I'm not a fan of something that was free suddenly becoming pay. It makes me feel cheated.
I have no problem paying for software if it works well and is hassle free. So far it's been great(ish) in that department, but I can't help but feel a little sour about it.

its solved so many of my headaches over the years, i think i'll shell out for it... it's worth the peace of mind.

maybe they feel cheated that you've used their software all this time and haven't offered anything in return.

so if I run an update does that mean I am screwed?

well how were they making money before? I think the original plan may have been to make money with the built in font shop. My guess is that they are not selling enough fonts to make it profitable...
