Welcomesite, I do understand, obvously you don't. People are complaining they purchased the Full Version of Poser 4 for $219 U.S. If someone today wished to purchase that same software, the price for that is $219 U.S., completely and utterly unchanged. Now maybe this is too much for you to grasp, there is an UPGRADE package at Curious Labs available for $99 U.S. I'll repeat this again, UPGRADE, not a stand alone Full Version. For a short period of time, if you have a version of Poser, be it, 2, or 3 that normally would accept the upgrade, but is of queasy origin, and likely wouldn't you install and run as legitimate. You can now buy that very same upgrade package for $129U.S. and get the assistance required to install it and run it and make it legal. The bone of contention here is the fact, that Curious Labs is also going to allow Poser 4 users of queasy, or just plain illegal origin to purchase this upgrade and become completely legal in regards to Poser 4. However that does not change the fact, the purchaser, is once more NOT getting the out of the box, complete with manuals, stand alone Full version of Poser 4. That still costs $219 U.S. What they are getting is the $99U.S. upgrade package, with whatever manuals that comes with. Now you may argue that in effect gives them a full version, but so what, that is what an upgrade supposed to do after all, but they are STILL not purchasing the same, top-of-the-line boxed set Full Version, that you did. To purchase that, the price remains $219 U.S.
