It has been a really long time since I played this. If I didn’t just get another game I was planning on playing, I’d totally try and find a copy of the deluxe version. I don’t think we ever had the deluxe version, so that would be really fun to get and mess around with like I used to on the old family computer.
Just like all the other apps and services that didn’t demand anything, I’ll donate when I can afford it. It worked for textra, progression workout app, bitwarden, davinchi resolve, and one of the ad blockers for iPad, etc…
The lemmy instance I use and the app I’m currently using will come when I can afford it but not because they withhold features or sell my data to advertisers till I do.
I’ve been a long time Sync user and paid for everything he asked when it was Reddit. I’m $5 a month for my instance - startrek.website.
Haven’t yet kicked in for Lemmy Sync. I feel good about sending some cash to the dev, but don’t love subscriptions and the lifetime payment of $100 is a little too rich for me.
My instance shut down donos because they were bringing in way more than they needed and are sitting on years of server costs at current usage. I was donating when they were open, though.
Yea this is the thing I keep saying. Who cares about if you’re paying $20 for an app if that’s what you want to do. Just remember to help out the instances who are running things to make that app work. I think a lot of people realize this and that’s great, but I’m sure some people also don’t. So, instead of circlejerking about Sync being $20, it would have been better for make one or two posts days ago with that reminder and leave it be. Instead, we see the circlejerk continuing days later.
A new platform like Lemmy needs to establish trust and reliability for a certain time period before it can expect people to give back something. Something that the Sync developer has established already for a decade now.
Assuming that Lemmy continues to flourish well, I will be perfectly happy to donate to Lemmy, in fact I’m quite sure that in the long run I’ll donate a lot more to Lemmy than the one time purchase cost of Sync.
I mean, take that up with Reddit. Hopefully, lemmy doesn’t somehow stop people from using apps.
Besides I’m happy to pay for the development costs of him porting the entire thing to use lemmy instead super fast, whilst being really responsive to any issues and questions. Of the 5 apps on my phone, sync feels the best to me so I’m cool supporting it.
