Re: Its official, PV is now for sale
This type of thing happens all the time with member-developed applications.
Ever heard of McAfee?
Ok, that aside...
Yes, PV is very buggy. I haven't obviously seen the released pay-version, but if it is anywhere near as buggy as the last free version, there will be a number of unhappy people. Personally, I would not purchase the application in the current form I have used.
The obvious solution is a free alternative.
I haven't played with Gametime + yet, but it appears the time has come.
If that ever goes to a pay release, well...we'll just need to get one of you brainiacs off your asses to write us a new free version. I don't code, but I've seen enough to know that it doesn't take an act of god to display stats from a database as an overlay on the screen...One of you will figure it out...I have confidence in you...
As far as the "Will Pat get pissed" issue, it really doesn't matter. It is really no different then someone developing a plug-in for Photoshop or something. No biggy.
So get to crack'n somebody and write a new free version.
Reverse-engineering is your friend.
