Quote - Wow, I can't believe all the complaining about the pricing inrelation to the Poser 4 giveaways. Yes it's a super deal for those. I think the complain that I hear is. They got it for nothing and I didn't. I worry what I can control, not what I can't. I hear that a lot these days.
Hey it is your right to complain. But barring any accident that can change A Persons life. Life will go on! I would hate to think that I would let something like this destroy my being happy with what I am able to do with Poser 6. I had bought every poser since version 4.
I am happy every day with the things I can produce with Poser. Try painting your scenes, or Making animations with cells. As long as the price remains in a price that I can afford, I will find a way to buy it. .
First, people aren't saying they won't buy it, or that the price is outrageous.
Second, the complaint is NOT that people got Poser 5 for free (it was not Poser 4). It was an older version of the program, and I think the free giveaway was nice - I'm happy for those who got it. The complaint is that those who DID get Poser 5 for free are NOW gettting Poser 7 for the same price as people who PAID for Poser 6, and/or 5, and/or 4. If eFrontier was offering a slightly better discount for those who already had Poser 6 - or some additional free content, or a coupon for $$$ of at Content Paradise, I don't think you'd be hearing so much annoyance. Certainly wouldn't be hearing it from me. I just feel, like many others, that it shows a certain disrespect to long time customers when they give the same "upgrade" price to people who never paid a penny for a program as for those of us who've been buying it for years. - Alisa
