They are different products and different services.
Comparing them like this is treating those who bought a 1-time fee like 2nd class citizens.
If you don't want people paying a 1-time fee for your product, don't offer the option, or don't 'punish' them for doing so when they do.
I know software development costs time and money (I was a developer myself at some point in my career), and you need to fund it.
I get you are creating a product which has value.
I don't get why when someone bought it should matter.
Another point I feel conflicted about is this:
"FGC will continue to work fine for you and you can go on about your business."
Q. Will the current version of Fantasy Grounds still be available after Unity is released?
A. Yes. But not necessarily indefinitely
This reads to me like all effort will go into FGU, FGC will just be expected to keep on working, but don't expect any more updates on it.
And after a couple of ??? we'll pull the plug out of it anyway...
That being said, it doesn't really matter since your prices are set and mind is made up.
I however won't be upgrading to the FGU version since I think $60 on top of the $110 Ultimate + $200 worth of content is more than I'm willing to spend.
Good luck with FGU, hope it turns out well.
