Well, I just have to say one thing.... bye bye E-On Software. I don't do subscriptions, period. Haven't checked if Vue still works, since I'm migrating to a new pc. I've got no desire to create a new account at E-On, since I won't be upgrading anymore, hopefully I can still install my old Vue.

Even if I would be interested, I wouldn't know what to choose. The info is so limited and even confusing that I've got no clue what's what. What's the difference between these Vue versions? What is and isn't included? Also the pricing is rather odd, going from $20 to $75 is a huge step..... and it's not even clear what you're getting. Where's the list of features, where's the comparison? What am I even subscribing to? How about a plan with PlantFactory? Did it even occur to you that there's plenty of people who don't want or need it.

Why not do what Terragen does? Offer both a subscription and perpetual purchase.

By the way.... Benefit from a fantastic, hyperactive community of users where you can share, inspire, and learn from one another scrap that line please, we all know it's a lie. You destroyed that years ago and you don't even offer a space for interaction anymore.

I've been with Vue since the release of version 1. It was awesome in the beginning, but the glory days are long gone and I'm afraid you just might have destroyed what's let of it. Subscription is way too risky ..... when you close the doors or go bankrupt, we're left with nothing at all. Call me old fashioned, but I want to own my software and not pay $200 and then not being able to use it the next year. Sorry, don't do scams.

I DO NOT understand or respect Renderosity when they do not allow links to outside of Renderosity. If other websites and forums were to follow with this practice it would render the web USELESS. Matter of fact it was a link on another website that lead to my discovery of Renderosity. Now imagine that...
