IMHO,it probably wasn't a good business decision to mention the financial situation; however, I don't believe that Mr. Cooper was doing anything other than trying to explain the whole picture. I believe that he feels he owes the community a full explanation; and that would include the financial difficulties as well. I tend to think of things in a bottom line approach. So, bottom line: I bought the upgrade, and at least for me it works fairly well. Yes, there are some problems and some things I don't particularly like about the render engine. But I do feel I got my money's worth. If CL can address the bugs and doesn't then I would be very upset; but I haven't seen anything to make me think that this will happen anytime soon, if ever. I for one don't put anyone or any company on a pedastal. But I usually will give the benefit of the doubt when I can. I do feel that CL owes us a fix, but I am willing to trust that this will happen. If it doesn't; well, I did say I feel I got acceptable value for my money.
