This was actually the second “Finally!” outcry in the past days. The first one had been after I saw you introduced Vanessa.

The community has won

It wasn't about "winning" it was about being informed of what role we play in the companies corporate objectives. Would they keep us as testers/translators or would they do this all in house.

As I said to Cyril, not to be a pessimist but I wonder how much they actually value what we, as a community, bring to the table. They still could decide the next day that this isn't the avenue they wish to pursue. I still have my doubts but good news nonetheless.

I didn't know plus was bought by a company till i read this thread and the first thread.

Seems a bit iffy to me. Like i got the newest version of plus and i see some "plus games" button, i click on it and it takes me to some website where you can play games and it's asking me to buy tokens and all this stuff.

I think this is showing the path plus is taking

This is simply an alternate method of revenue generation. You will never have to pay for Plus! but it sure beats installing an adware component would you not agree?

The Plus! games button has been around for a bit actually.

"Phew!" is all I have to say.

matty: the forum and the people who are on it are still here. Yuna Software does value the entire group but even if they didn't, that wouldn't change much to our day to day life (outside of testing/translating). Now that development is going to start in Montreal, there's not much plans to change either. Nothing is static but no company can perform well without a clear set of objectives.

As for the new promotional buttons, it's the business part of the software that's here to change the old "sponsor" way of doing things. Messenger Plus!, the software, will stay free. There's no plans or talks to change that.

That's good news

Any company cannot love this program as much as we all do. That is why all these problems appeared upon switch from its creator to a company. But everything is ok now.

Then we can say Messenger Plus! 5 by mainly Patchou again!

Nice to know
Aw… if only I spoke French, lived in Canada and breathe C++…
Good luck with the future
would asking for pt-br to be included in MPL5 setup be too much, btw? /lala
