You're right about the fact that we're not sure if Corl will updata at all, but if bryce is to be sold then it would better be sold to a company wich can quarantee the userbase that they will produce sufficient updates. If the program get's sold and then slowly bleeds to death you're not getting any better of it than leaving it at Corel and not getting any updates. I am not saying that JASC can't make a good bryceversion, but if a company c has a product and doesn't do anything with it (for any reason) and a company j buys it from company c then the product will only benefit from the trade if company j does any better than company c. And to get a product like bryce running well in the market you can't just drop prices, because one day that is not going to be enough. One day the users will eventually want good updates. Updating a program like Bryce takes more people and work than updating a program like PSP. Therefore updating it will be more expensive and selling it at prices as low as $100 could result in the program not being very (or even not) profitable anymore. Most important for bryce at the moment is an update. And most of the serious bryce addicts/users who are willing to buy a Bryce update will rather pay $300 for a good update than $100 for a program wich is barely updated. A pricetag of $100 would be great, but you need to be sure it doesn't compromise the quality of the program. And I'm afraid that is exactly what will happen if bryce get's sold to a company that's aiming at the ultra-low-budget market.
