The thing with FPSC and its price is that it was and perhaps is still set for a number of reasons to fit a niche market. There are valid commercial reasons why its price was fixed at the level it is.
Changing its retail cost might impact on the overall commercial viability for reasons of which many of us will be unaware.
An option might possibly be to develop FPSC within reasonable bounds at the current kind of retail cost to meet with the original aim of a click and play game development/entertainment tool for all if you wish and at the same time possibly extend it to provide for the more descerning or advanced users who wish for something more by having a Pro version at a cost that would reflect the product difference.
There are clearly two main categories of user who might currently purchase FPSC as assumed above and the kind of user that we get at the forum may not be either the largest category nor comprising a lucrative enough a market to warrant a separate more advanced version as such as with DB/DBPro. I doubt they would even consider it but it would be an option for those who would be willing to pay more.
Only TGC know the fact and figures and at the end of the day they have to make the product viable.
Users may well get some of the improvements they have asked for in any upgrade when it comes and its likely that any true Version2 FPSC as opposed to a bug fixing upgrade will be at extra cost to users anyway - which one therefore would presume comes because of improved product development as opposed to just big fixes.
Thus to see some of the advances users want they are going no doubt to have to pay extra anyway - which is what you are asking for.
Dont take my word for this mind you this is only my opinion and only TGC know anything of any value here.
In answer to Lons post though from my point of view the answer would be Yes - without question.
