I know I would be willing to pay for it. However, Allan's finances are his own business so I trust he knows what he is doing.</p> I too am surprised that TM2 is a free upgrade.

i am happy to wait for the time it takes to produce tm2. it sounds like alan's learned a lot and is intent on producing something that will be around for a long time – and will require less time, once complete, to produce 'major' updates.

I would charge money for it because everyone would pay for a tm2 delivered this year instead of duke nukem forever dates :(, which in turn would bring more revenue, and in so you could actually hire another seasoned programmer, to help you drive tm2 development to a higher pace. It's been 1 year since the tm2 announcement that it will be available and really it does feel like vaporware, and this should not happen, because there is room for improvement and having a faq where you tell that you should put tm2 next to duke nukem forever is really a way of saying that tm2 might never come out, which in turn this might drive people to move to a product with a more clear vision for the future. I think you made a great product, i hope you will take this comment in a good sense, but you need to have tm2 a paid product, and hire more guys if you need to have this product have a real roadmap.</p> Allan: Personally i think that your mistake was the fact that you want to deliver tm2 as a free update.
