> I've discontinued use due to the high cost […]

I’ve given away 30+ SublimeText licenses in the last 5 years, mostly to students.

If you cannot afford paying $80 for a license, ping me via email and I’ll buy one for you.

My email is 0x636978746f7264732f61742f676d61696c I’m looking forward to talk with you.

Hex encoding your email address is genius. Don't think many spammers will be picking that one up!

I didn't believe he was serious, but he is. He actually delivered.

That is quite generous but I don't know that it'd sit well having someone else pay for me for what I consider too much to use. I suppose it's all just my principles since I could just use it in an unregistered state as many personal users likely do. I like supporting software like this... I just can't justify the cost, particularly since it's just for my own use.

I've requested a license and received one within minutes. There's nothing more honorable than keeping your word! Awesome and thanks!

I have been wanting to buy a license to get rid of the license nag pop up, but wasn’t sure if development was ongoing since it had been quite a while since the last release. Also, I figured Sublime Text 4 might be coming down the pipeline soon.

If I buy a license, does that cover potentially upgrading to the next major version? If not, is there a roadmap for version 3?

You are a Genius and Honest, Thank you man :)
