Hey look at it this way... They are giving back the $99.00 in merchandise (ok, maybe more valuable to some than others, but...) and they are trying to LURE new Hexagon users into the fold. DAZ uses this approach a lot, offer a product really cheap to hook new users. I'm betting they will get a bunch of people to buy Hexagon at that price who wouldn't have bought it at any price otherwise, but once they learn about it you have a larger user base for future versions. It may sound a bit disagreeable at first light but a bigger user base MIGHT be the difference between a HEX 3 and nothing.
