Green-Ear SDK and Voice Slots NEW pricing and definitions!

So there has been much confusion over our voice slots, which give players access to the Green-Ear Network. So, we are doing away with the old definition where it comes in bursts and is impossible to calculate. Well, nearly impossible. Voice Slots will now mean a concurrent user on the network. You know, the way everyone thought it was to begin with.
In order to offset the cost of the voice slots, the SDK will now be offered for FREE. Yeah, free.
So, although the changes have already, or will very shortly, have taken place on the website. We are offering a special limited time offer to all of you for being so dope. Now through February 15, any Voice Slot purchase will be honored at the maximum number of connections quoted in the original definition. So, all of you who had purchased an SDK and were waiting on voice slots or any of you that had the intent to purchase under the old agreement still have a chance to get in under that deal. Sort of a better deal because now instead of a variable range of numbers you will know exactly how many SIMULTANEOUS connections you will have and you will be automatically upgraded to the highest end, regardless of the chattiness of your game.
Here's the way it breaks down, until Feb. 15, if you buy 10 slots, we will honor that as if you purchased 450 slots. And so on, see handy chart:
10 slots = 450 slots
25 slots = 1800 slots
50 slots = 4000 slots
100 slots = 9500 slots
500 slots = 55000 slots
We wanted to give you a fair chance to follow through with any plans you had made for future slot purchases. The switch will be taking place on February 15, anything purchased before then will be counted at the higher number of slots on the network side, anything after that will follow the new model where 10 slots is equal to 10 concurrent connections. I hope you understand the changes and feel that the offer we are making to the community is a fair way to transition.
Thank you for your continued feedback and support.
