    I hope this doesn't fall on deaf ears, but perhaps I can speak for a less vocal part of your customer base.

    You guys have a great team, I really like the freedom of being able to play games the way I want to, cut through the grind or fluff, or just have the freedom to explore. Y'all keep the trainers updated, active, and well featured and I'm not here to pretend that a single lifetime sub from a few users will sustain development indefinitely.

    That said, since I first subscribed so many years ago, I've watched as you keep compartmentalizing your paid features into more and more addons. Until now, they've all been purely cosmetic and fair. More dedicated users get more ways to pay, and show off their gratuity.

    This feels different, the blurb is "Unlock Additional Options in Select AAA Trainers" with the promise that "They will be "fun" options such as Big Head Mode, Enemies Attack Each Other, No Clipping, etc." but all it takes is a scroll through the recently added trainers list to see that so far this doesn't really seem to be true.
    Teleport positions in Far Far West, Coin and Mega Money options in TerraTech Legion, HP and Energy options in EvoCreo 2, Unlimited Stamina, Shelter Capacity, and Reputation in Above the Snow- these are just a few club-only options found on the first few seconds of clicking through.

    It makes sense that you need a monthly subscription cost to support continual development, and it seems pretty reasonable to imagine you guys really are trying your best to add more fun trainer options than ever before and are using this money to do so. But the messaging is awful. If you can't actually afford to continue trainer development without new subs, why still offer the lifetime option?
    It doesn't take much effort to research other subscription model trainers and find that similar options are baked right into a single cost. Perhaps you guys are seeing only the value proposition of this new subscription, but the customer sees something entirely different.
    They buy a subscription to unlock 'unlimited access to exclusive cheats and trainers' and then open the aurora app and see that damn near every game worth playing has "Join the Club to unlock" written over half the options. This feels like we're being upsold a new subscription a la Apple storage addons, and it doesn't feel nice.

    Perhaps my view is controversial since I'm not really a part of your community, but I'm not a bitter customer nor do I regret any money I have spent on the products here. But I am worried that the future of this service could become obfuscated and less transparent and in my experience this is always the beginning of the end for something good. So I write in hopes that that would never happen.
    For a customer like me, a post about "we want to make better trainers, we need more money to justify it" would resonate more than "we're selling new 'fun' trainer features on an additional membership cost, but promise that you won't ever really need them" when the entire point of this community is that no one actually needs any of the features and they're all fun features. You guys decide the line, and expect the customer to not get frustrated by the paywall? I think this is a tightrope you're going to walk and yes, it will transfer people to your new sub, but it will also have just as many people ignore your services after buying in and feeling ripped off.

    I'm sorry if this is not as uplifting as previous posts here, but I could not write it on discord as I kept getting my conversations silenced. I like what you guys do, a lot of the newest Aurora features are legitimately awesome and I'd be happy to give more money towards making cool ****.

    Additionally the AI girl feels cringe and inhuman, to be blunt. I totally get why you don't want to pay for an actress, but I'd rather read a nice blog post or look at an infographic than see a clearly fake girl trying to hype up paid features that I'm already not very sold on. Like a modern day 'booth babe' upselling me on a car :P
    It's cute for your dedicated fans, but extremely out of touch for people who are already scratching their head at the recent changes.

    Can you give Life Time members access to the "Club Cheats" not only Life Time Plus and Tier 7. I never got Life Time Plus cause it never affected the cheats so now I get punished.

    Also on the AMA first question, PWizard answered;

    These options will NEVER be critical for the core gameplay. You'll never see health or ammo or crafting options reserved for The Club. These will be things like big head mode, enemies attack each other, no clipping, etc.

    So why are there trainers with cheats like resources and re-rolls in a rouge-like locked behind Club already. My example is "TerraTech Legion" They have Re-Rolls, Mega Money for Upgrades, Current Coins and Total Coins Collected locked. The first 3 options seem like "critical core gameplay" to me.

    Didn't realize Life Time Plus was still available as it was stated to be only around during the Kick-Starter. So that one is on me.

    But the later half of the comment is still valid, and the comment above mine from "Larney" has more game examples. They are already pay walling core gameplay cheats.

    @Zizz: Yes, I agree that this is definitely not a good choice for club-only options. It doesn't align with our promise to offer only "fun options". We'll discuss this internally.

    I agree with you. For me, too, some of these don’t fall into the "fun options" category. We’ll discuss this internally to figure out why they were chosen and what could have been selected instead.

    The original idea was to offer club members added value and avoid splitting our community into two groups, with one group feeling like they now only have access to promotional trainers. Unfortunately, this can’t be completely ruled out, because what’s an "unimportant fun" option for one person might seem important enough to another. That said, there are a few examples you mentioned that seem a bit questionable at first glance.

    I've seen a good number of people here say it, but it bears repeating: CheatHappens has provided a stellar service for a long time, and has made my ability to play and enjoy games better over the years.

    I will admit to getting myself a little worked up when I updated and launched the new Aurora to see if TerraTech Legion had got a trainer and seeing that the one option I wanted to use was locked behind The Club. I haven't really interacted with the forum or the website since you launched Aurora 2.0 so this came a bit out of the blue (which is 100% on me, I'm bad at forums and keeping up to speed with emails and things).

    So at first I went on a bit of a search to see if I could find the email from when I bought my original Lifetime membership and instead found one of the notifications from when you launched Lifetime PLUS:
    WE WILL NEVER ASK OUR LIFETIME MEMBERS FOR ANYTHING MORE IN ORDER TO ACCESS ADDITIONAL CONTENT. WHEN WE SAY LIFETIME MEMBERSHIP, WE MEAN IT.

    However! I paid somewhere in the region of $60 back in 2010. That's a lot of mileage out of that money, and at the end of the day you're a business. And businesses need income. So I've just gone and did the BackerKit thing because I spotted this on The Club page:
    Unlock Additional Options in Select AAA Trainers (*)
    (*) The additional trainer options will never be those required for the core gameplay such as health, ammo, crafting, etc. They will be "fun" options such as Big Head Mode, Enemies Attack Each Other, No Clipping, etc. Also note that members of Lifetime PLUS and/or TIER 7 also have access to these options.

    I have to be brutally honest, I don't care about all the other features of The Club or Lifetime Plus, I just like the products you develop. If I want games I'll buy them myself, I barely interact with the forum, never mind having joined on Discord; so most of the benefits just... aren't for me? If a more regular income stream is required, I'd be the first to admit I've coasted along on that original membership. The maths works out at $0.32 per month over 16 years, even with my recent purchase it only takes it up to $0.88 a month. So maybe a Club Minus option for the awkward fools like myself?

    Finally, I want to address the AIlephant in the room. I'm not a huge fan of the direction the world is going in with AI, I try not to engage with AI services etc. As far as I can tell its pretty easy to just ignore the AI assistant part of Aurora, and I'm not enough of a fool to expect CheatHappens to maintain two separate Aurora branches for the troglodytes like me that are scared of fire. I just hope if the AI bubble does actually pop its easy enough to untangle.

    Right, long post over. Just want to repeat that I think that CheatHappens has done a hell of a job creating and managing a service that has made my life a lot easier when I just want to have fun playing games.

    Thanks for your thoughts on this! We are listening to the members!
    Chris may have already made some changes for Plus and Tier 7 members, so I am sure that will help the situation for many.

    On this particular game there are two or maybe three options that give you the currency for upgrades. I chose one of them that is more "convenient" to use at the shop, to be a club option. The other options are just as powerful, but you get the coins when you are in combat and then can use them in the shop.

    The coins are essential in the game, for upgrades, so non Club members have option too.

    At any rate, I may change which is Club and which is not.

    Thanks for feedback!

    best,
    Cal
