Livecode Future

[Tom Glod]

I want to add a couple of points about my own case / stance.

I have been with Livecode for about 11 years.
While I have not yet shipped a whole lot ...yet
I took all this time to work on my skills and to build tooling for myself
so that I can create small niche products extremely quickly and also large
products at a quick pace as well.

So in a very real sense I've been building income potential.
Income potential, which I will be joyfully executing on for the next decade
plus, with many different products.
I've spent MAYBE $3 or 4K on Livecode over those years (because I used the
community  to build.)

So in my case, to me, I really have received much value from Livecode, as
Kevin said in the video.

To me, Livecode is asking, ...Tom, can you pay us 50k to make $1 million?
And they are promising an increasingly better platform in exchange, and
faster updates.
That leaves $950k for me, my family and my business.

I cannot speak on behalf of anyone else, and clearly for some this really
sucks.
I'm sorry for that and in no way am I saying that this is easy.

Thanks for listening

Tom
