Quote - Certainly some people will buy the GI-capable version, but I'll bet you literally 10 times as many will stick with the free one.

AFAIK you don't need the pay version to get GI. The biggest advantage of the pay version is the ability to MAKE shaders with the new node based shader ability. The free version can still read and render them, but not make them.

Looks like the bulk of the pay version abilities is targeting content makers.
