This way (FAQ) will loose you alot of potential customers.
I remember when it started I would have bought a OnePlus (Smartphone). But when they didnt made it available for preorder like every other phone... but instead did promotion campaigns where you had a chance to win a limited number of tickets to be allowed to buy one etc.
And once i realized i will not be getting it any time soon I sad to my self screw that.
Same with you. You manage to create quite a buzz in the photo community. And now everyone on win (and yes prosumers/proffesionals as well) who comes or came to your site see:
1.) Only "exclusively for MAC" and
2.) only if they are really interested and dig deeper find an faq entry saying: you have to wait at the very least a year and the it may or may not happen.
How many, do you thing, will then say: Screw that.
And do you honestly think that even if the photography blogs/sites/magazines etc. will run an article saying: "Ohh Affinity finaly got a windows version" that you will rekindle the buzz you made with the beta??
From a business point of few i really do not understand the strategy. Isnt it always better to first widen your userbase and take advantage of a good media coverage and then add additional programs to the suite?
In anycase, can only speak for me... I kept checking back here since the beata first made the rounds. But when you have been checking of alot of month now, and nothing changes (besides the fact that it first read as though you will make a windows version as soon as the mac version was final; whereas now you put it of even further by saying you will develop a whole other app before even thinking about it) ... I am almost at the point of being fed up. Not completely yet... but i certainly wont be able to stay interrested for a year or more....
In anycase... if you got enough money and dont want mine... sure wth. but dont say you havent had a clue.
And BTW. while its true that prosumers/professional tend to go with mac.... i think you should check your study (or source their of) again! (Esp. prosumers).
Cheers.
