A TGB update that could cost monies.

I noticed that with the last point release of TGB, version 173, the "free" part of the update was stressed. This implies that future releases will not be free. Now, of course, I'd really like all the remaining releases to be free, but what does anyone else think? Perhaps I'm putting words into GG's mouth?

It could be just stressing that this is free, the last big update to TGE costed money. They have said though that some updates would not be free.

It was just an emphasis on the "free" part. However, as mentioned, there may at some point be an update that is a paid update - though we do of course try to make things as affordable as possible. :)

GarageGames released updates to TGE for ages for free. I don't work there so I don't know what their plans are but I wouldn't get worried. They just want to get the word out that you don't have to pay for the update so that there is no confusion.

Edit: Darn too slow.

Thank-you for clearing that up for me, gentlemen.
