Oo, some honest angel actually bought the more expensive Professional license for SUDS Pro on Fab yesterday. I initially didn't add a Pro tier for the Fab launch (when it became an option), thinking it might over-complicate things, but after seeing everyone else doing it I quickly reconsidered. I wasn't sure anyone would pick it, but it does make sense to have a tier for a shared multi-person license for better funded folks.

That's a nice Friday bonus, thanks to whoever that was 😊

I initially didn't add the Pro tier because I thought it might give people a headache, like I'm indie now but what if I get funding later, that sort of thing. There's a kind of unwritten rule that I always say you can use one license of SUDS Pro even if you're on a small team, no per-seat faffing about, I don't want anyone to have to do that. But on reconsideration, for larger teams it's nice they can opt in to reflect that

People say you have to be cutthroat in business but I disagree. I think you only need to be cutthroat if you mostly deal with other people who are also like that. While the sharks are out tearing pieces off each other, I've been able to make a decent living interacting with mostly nice folks through mutual understanding and fair dealing. I might just have been stupendously lucky, but I'm not sure - I think fair dealing attracts fair dealers, and the opposite is also true.

You have to be cuthroat if you want an insane amount of money that will automatically make your whole existence unethical and somehow fry your brain. I think that's what people are referring to ;)
