Hey,
thank you so much for your answer and your time - that really helps me a lot! You are amazing!
I'll just jump right into your text:

I haven't tried actually buying anything. I found the pricing calculator awkward to use. The table of prices in the FAQ was much more helpful for getting an overview
That's good to know! I'm currently working on the "Pricing" page to be more clearly here with the bundle system - at the moment the bundles are visible when you hover over the (i) after SOUND and MUSIC within the chest - or after selecting a license in the overlay.

I noticed that if I want exactly 26 sounds, it would be cheaper to buy one bundle A and one bundle B instead of buying a bundle C. Is this allowed?
Thats okay, yes - but at the moment you would need to make two orders for that. However, in my experience often the developers didn't need such an exact amount of sounds, but rather a good all-round - solution, which is why I decided to implement a bundle system.

Also, I noticed that you don't have a license for budgets over 250000€. Doesn't affect me personally, but seems strange.
We Love Indies rather focusses on the smaller and middle-sized independent game scene, whereas large studios work with the main label - Dynamedion. This is why we don't have really large licences within this website. But you plan something on that scale, just get back to me! ?

English-speaking countries tend to use dots to write decimals, and use commas or spaces to separate groups of digits. So instead of 250.000€, it might be better to write 250,000€ or 250 000€.

In the FAQ under cost, it says “Please check out our Terms & Conditions, if you have further questions.” However, the underlined text is not a hyperlink that takes me to the terms and conditions as expected.
Thanks a lot, I'll change it! <3

I'm not fond of per-project licensing. My first concern is that it's ambiguous what exactly constitutes a “project”. For example, which of the following would be considered a new project?
It's really good, that you mention your concern regarding what is considered as new projects. This will definitely make it in the FAQ!
It was a long progress to work out a pricing system with our demands. My idea was to make the pricing as risk-free as possible, including individual licences and bundles - everything without any subscription plans:
- Completely free assets for pitches, prototypes and student projects
- Project based prices starting from <1€ per SFX

My other concern is that I have is that when it comes time for me to write a sequel for my first game using the assets from the first game, you might no longer be around, leaving me with no way to by a new license for the original assets.
Since the "parents" of WeLoveIndies (Dynamedion and BOOM) are around for several decades now, I hope we don`t disappear that quickly. :-)
Also, our teams of sound designers and composers handcraft all of this sounds - so we are the original creator of everything we offer.

It would be nice if there were a price category between S and M, for monetized games with a budget of less 5000€.
Thats good to know - we should definately consider that!
Again, thank you very much!
Andreas
