Have you guys ever considered that maybe it takes so long between updates not because I don't make money on it, but because I simply don't know how to improve it yet? Have you noticed that I haven't even started working on FRM 4.9 yet? That I have been stumped for almost a year on how to move that forward, and once I understand what to do I have to still figure out how to do it? Have you noticed that none of the programs I have released for a while have FRM in them?
I started working on MIR because it's needed. I started working on Sex Drive Maximizer because when I did, I believed I could do it in 3 days. SDM was built to keep us afloat to some degree while I work on MIR, which is a very long, complex program, and very important right now. Unfortunately, things did not go in my favor, and SDM took a lot longer to build than I anticipated. (I also built the disruptor and never charged a cent for it, even though it was around a week of work. By the way.)
And DMSI, right now? Seriously? What we need is MIR 3. We need some way to help ourselves deal with this Wuhan flu and other infections.
I also wonder, what huge claim did I make with DMSI? That it is designed to do something it can't yet, because it is an unfinished experimental? That I believe I can eventually make it achieve its goals?
You really think me charging $10 to $30 a copy is going to make me enough money to be worth a damn? No, it's just going to increase the pressure to keep working on something I am not yet ready to build, and make a lot of people mad when I can't yet deliver.
You pay once and then get free upgrades until I stop developing this program, whether because it is finished and works, or because I am no longer willing to spend energy working on it. That is fair. Charging for each release may benefit me, but it does not make things work if I am not sure how to do the job yet.
So Samba, I propose this. You figure out how to make FRM work, and then we'll talk. Until then, you are stuck with the fact that NOBODY knows how to do what I am trying to accomplish with FRM, and to the best of my knowledge, NOBODY is even trying anymore, except me. That means that either I do it, or NOBODY does it. And if I don't do it, you are going to have the end of the line on DMSI right then and there.
In other words, there's nothing unfair here and there is no conspiracy or money grab. And you, good sir, have only one option, which is to deal with it. Unless and until I finish FRM 4.9, there is no point in trying to make a new version of DMSI, and there are more important things than sex. That is why I am working on MIR v3.
If you guys could see the circumstances I deal with when making the choices I make, you might understand my choices better.
