well, i paid 150 for it, but when it first came out, i believe the price was 519.00 or something, and i know that people paid that much. then the bugs started crawling out from the woodwork, and those people felt BURNED. i think curious labs came as close to comitting suicide as possible w/o dying, by releasing such a high dollar, multi-bug program. and people were MAD!!! and i think that the service releases have tried to fix the problems, but i also feel that the next time something comes along (daz|studio anyone?) curious labs will find out what happens when you offend your core user base... i can't wait for daz|studio. a little competition will certainly create a need for more advanced features and better stability. cl would be mad not to get better.
