I bought it for several reasons.
A) I'm getting a Mac anyway ... to make Mac games.
B) I want to read the docs and use the BlitzMax forums
C) I believe in Mark's ability to make a killer new language ... I know people complain about BlitzPlus ... but I could tell from everything Mark said about it that it was basically something to bridge the gap to BlitzMax and use some GUI stuff. I didn't buy that one. BlitzMax has been Mark's goal for a long time and so far it looks great!
