Sure this may sting those of us who supported Bolt before capitalism and corporate bottom lines take features away. They do own it so they can do what they want, they paid for it but some of us also PAID FOR BOLT which they killed and converted to PUN. I question the use of the Bolt name because this version is nothing compared to Bolt used to be.
Photon bolt mobile trial#
It's tough to understand the logic behind a paid trial that's now being offered. For those of us who have owned this asset before Photon bought it find more and more features taken away and having to pay Photon more money.

To some of us, this is seen as a crash grab, but to the company, this is to increase their bottom line, our hard truth, they are in this to make money, that's capitalism. The hard truth now is it feels like they are using the Bolt name to simply market a paid trial that requires further payments ongoing to keep using. Photon made it a paid trial and pay to use and pay forever to use itĬlick to expand.Bolt as it is now is a shell of its former self, they killed it and made it a photon clone.īolt now is just a marketing name and no reflection of what it used to be. Photon decided that's bad because that makes no new money and created this new thing. Photon did allow you unlimited use up to 100CCU without paying more. Photon also killed the server Zeus Server in the process so you have to use them. Photon took it further forcing you to use their service even though Bolt did not NEED Photon.
Photon bolt mobile free#
Photon took it over and proceeded to rewrite it, removing the free unlimited features. No more community (SLACK/GIT) No more constant updates. Photon convinced the original Dev to sell out and leave everyone, everything. Photon likely realizing Bolt was really good and offering unlimited everything was bad.

This was FREE.īolt was free, had it's bugs, but full potential to becoming the real networking solution.īolt provided unlimited CCU and a private GIT community with constant updates.īolt was becoming the go to network solution and gaining a noticible following. Old Bolt did have it's bugs but it was actively developed and we all had access to the GIT source for constant updates and did not have to pay to use it.īolt used to be something special and awesome with an active slack/git community.īolt provided the freedom to own both your server and the player networking without +$$īolt had Zeus which allowed you to have a real game server. The even more side jokes are the fact all the tutorials and documentation they lifted from the old bolt and pasted on their website is so old and outdated by years it extremely hard to follow for those without a lot of networking experience or knew how things worked before photon destroyed it. They used to offer continuous use of 100CC without paying them more but removed that realizing they forgot to take away more features to make it more pay to use.
Photon bolt mobile upgrade#
It should be known to all as as long as you don't upgrade to the new pay version you still can use the old Bolt with zeus server and avoid photon digging into your pockets for more money. Whatever they say about how they need more money and free is bad, the fact remains they ruined BOLT from what it was. If you search around you can read their side vs the community they pissed off.
Photon bolt mobile update#
Every update Photon has provided they have continued to strip out features that made bolt what it, forcing you into Photon's banks while they dipped in your pockets all the while claiming it was for the best. That way you had to pay them money which I can only assume was to cover what they paid the dev. Many revolted and cried foul.Photon stated they were not making any money of it so they have to kill zeus off and remove all the free features and make it pay to use like photon. Photon proceeded to kill off the zeus server. I had been involved in projects that used it and was part of the community before buying it for myself. I made the mistake getting and month later photon took it over.

Where Bolt had free options, they took it away making you have to pay for stuff just like the regular Photon. Click to expand.That's because when Photon took it over they killed it and re-made it in PUN's image.
