I agree with that. I'd pay too. But I wouldn't like to pay to a company who has an attitude to their customers like: "I don't care whatever everyone else thinks, if you want to play, you're going to pay, locked!"
I saw this answer given to a customer somewhere else and I was very surprised. I wished they apologized for that way of talking but I'm glad I found Reality XP is also developing it. But I still hope Reality XP releases it sooner because I don't want to wait :)
