If you are a game developer that primarily focuses on 2D, then this is a must have tool for your library. The ability to make your own 2D sprites is a valuable cost saver in the long run. For the new Indie developer just starting out, the small cost of this software is very little compared to what you would pay for photoshop or any other sprite editor. For that matter, if you have to outsource your sprite creations to another artist the price will be more than this.
