Right now where I live the department stores are doing a roaring trade in sexy little black numbers for the girls and cool threads for the guys. In four weeks time the stuff will be slashed to 50% of the current price with a big SALE sign over it. Everyone knows this and still buys. Does anyone worry? Does anyone complain about abuse of the customer base? No.
I am currently building a state of the art graphics computer, in 3 months time I will be able to buy the components at about 75% of current cost, but then they will no longer be state-of-the-art.
From what I can see all that CL is doing is having a sale prior to the introduction of Poser 5 which has been very well flagged in recent weeks. Daz have done it with Vicky and Michael, every other company on the planet does it with their product.
CL have introduced one small extra in an attempt to broaden the customer base and offer a chance to the warez users to legitimise their software and become fully compliant users and all hell breaks loose.
I am seriously puzzled by some of the downright hostile reaction to this. But then again it has been a while since there was a good row around here.......:0)
