So let me get this straight.
You purchased Hex1 from Eovia last year and received a product that satisfied you (contract complete). It satisfied you sufficiently that you were willing to spend again with Eovia, up front, $148.30 (inc Euro-tax) for version 2.
Just to emphasise this point - you wanted Hexagon2 and you willingly paid, with informed consent, what you considered to be a reasonable amount of money for it. In return for your payment , you have every right (including legal right) to expect to receive Hexagon version 2.

Well, you're receiving Hexagon2. You are receiving what you willingly paid for. You have no right, legal or moral, to expect anything more. This is the contract you entered into, and your contract has been fulfilled.

Now, coincidental with your purchase, the company with which you entered into a contract has sold the program to another company. This new company has different marketing plans for the program. These plans have absolutely no legal or moral bearing on the contract you willingly entered into with the previous company. Yet the new company chooses, entirely of its own good will, to offer you a set of products from its own suite equal in value to what you willingly paid for the program you are receiving.

And your conclusion is that you should never, ever trust this new company in anything.

I have to say I find this conclusion perverse and remarkable (hence these remarks).

Quote - Yeah, of course, nobody is ever responsible of anything...

Least of all, it seems, yourself. You willingly and knowingly paid a sum of money in expectation of a certain product. You are receiving that product. Your contract is fulfilled. You have no right to expect anything else. A third party offers you something extra and you feel hard done by. It's not just a lack of responsibilty on your part; it's a lack of appreciation of reality.

Quote - But now DAZ gets into their pockets my 150 dollars plus the money of the voucher that I am forced to spend with them like it or not, and this, while they're giving away the software to everyone for free.

Totally unreal; Kansas back that'a'way.

Eovia Europe (and your country's chancellor) got your $148.30.
DAZ is giving you the extra money value, not forcing it from you (LOL!).
You are not "forced" to take advantage of their free gift (you can press hot chilli into your meatus instead if you like).
No one is receiving Hexagon2 for free.

"Gone to dust."

Yup, apart from the fact that you are receiving, in full, what you paid for - plus the offer of other products of about the same value, your money has gone completely to dust. God, it really sucks to be you, doesn't it?

To say more would surely violate the Renderosity terms of service.
