Suggestion: Regional pricing would be amazing

Hey everyone! I recently discovered JangaFX, watched bunch of videos on software tutorials channel and I was especially fascinated by nuclear explosion. It was so much better than than what UE Niagara can do! It was close to what Houdini can do. And Houdini is impossibly expensive for me. Not to dramatize or anything, but difference of currencies means that ElementalSuite is going to take me 20 to 30 months depending on how much I can put aside for saving per month. As I’ve said, my life, my grocery shopping and all are not too different when it comes to local items so nothing dramatic, only when it comes to dollar denomination it becomes challenging.

And education version on the other hand is not commercial of course so I would be paying 60$ for something I can’t use in my game. I’m developing a game and having elementalsuite would be amazing and would tremendously contribute to my effects. I’ve been fascinated by digital worlds, games and FX ever since I watched Matrix as a small kid. That movie and it’s effects, it’s ideas, concepts, symbolism, highway truck explosion, the electro-magnetic ships everything, all of it was engraved to my mind to my consciousness. I want to become a masterful game dev and effects artist. And there aren’t too many tutorial channels for these tools either So by learning everything about it I can both improve my game and make youtube videos about it which can bring me some add revenue! Efficiency! So I even tho it’s very expensive it makes perfect sense for me to buy the best bang/buck full suite and take full advantage. So I’ll be saving money and visiting the website for a discount.

Anyway thanks for developing something that can rival Houdini! And for the option for perpetual lisence which in and of itself makes it at least not impossible to imagine buying!

I believe JangaFX can earn more money by enabling a regional pricing solution. It might seem counter intuitive at first to sell your software for less dollars, but this way, people who otherwise would never be able to afford it becomes able to buy it.

For instance youtube has regional pricing. Youtube premium subscription costs 10$ in the US. If I had to pay 10$ every month to youtube I would never be able afford it. Because meaning of 10$ in US and outside of the US are a lot different. But youtube has regional pricing and the same subscription costs me 1.5$. And thanks to that I’m subscribed to youtube premium. Now youtube “only” earns 1.5$ but the key difference is that they would not be able earn more had they not implemented regional pricing because if it was more expensive I would not be able to afford it in the first place. So in the end they are earning 1.5 dollars more that they otherwise would not. And that’s why regional pricing is a good business strategy.

Anyway as I’ve said thanks for making this software in any case regardless!
