We all like to get paid, It is a fact of life in our society, that we need to make money to survive, and the crew at Eovia is no exception. There first priority is to get Carrara out in the market so they can get a return investment on the money already invested in there business. Metacretions decided to stop developing consumer level software, so they didn't give a rats ass what happened to there customers since we no longer are there customers, but Eovia would make a big mistake by not delivering the patch, because we are still there customers. If they don't have a patch soon, It could potentially piss off a lot more of there already sold customers, and we are there loyal customers that would potentially buy Carrara 2.0 if we though it was worth it. Hell we already know the program. If Eovia does not fix what Metacretions didn't, then how is it expecting to make any money selling Carrara 2.0, it would be like trying to sell a 1.0 package with no legacy, to new customers and potentially losing all there old experienced, faithful customers. The more I think about it the more I realize that they were probably fixing the Carrara 1.0 code, so that they could build Carrara 2.0 on top of it. Now the real question is if Eovia is willing to gamble on not releasing the patch and jumping to Carrara 2.0 and try to extort money for a product that was initially released in beta form? I think it is a risk they can't afford. What make me nervous is the lack of communication Eovia as had with us. If it is already developed then just come out with all the news and be done with it, whatever they do in two more weeks, (Carrara 1.X fixed and a patch or simply Carrara 2.0 and we have been swindled with 1.0) would not make a difference either way on the final out come if we have the info now instead of in two weeks.
