$10 is $10. 2) I preordered - no discount, and got unacceptable software. I, in effect, alpha and beta tested for free. Now for any discount to be offered to new buyers less than a month and a half after I got the software on a preorder is an insult. 3) There are LOTS of good things said about P5. I've said a lot of them. http://www.renderosity.com/messages.ez?ForumID=12356&Form.ShowMessage=929748&Reply=930295#20 However, P5 wasn't ready to ship, it wasn't as advertised, and parts still don't work right after 1 regular service pack release and 2 beta test service pack releases. I love P5, but CL has not fullfilled its part of our sales arrangement. Bugs are expected with a new release of software, just not this many or this profoung. I do expect some form of compensation for everyone who did preorder or bought early. It's getting better (lots better), but it isn't ready yet. I really appreciate everything CL has done to fix the problems, and I understand the business needs for getting it out the door as quickly as possible. They've done a good job fixing their mistakes. 4) In no way do I regret getting P5. The feature set is amazing for the price. I'd do it again even if I knew the problems I'd have. However, a deal's a deal, and other people don't feel the same. CL owes us compensation. And I'm not talking just fixing the bugs. That is expected. I want some free content or features. I don't think the complaints are whining, I think they're valid expressions of the frustrations a lot of us have. We're very luck to have a forum on the 'sity to express our gripes, and to share our experiences. Sometimes we get strident, and our frustration comes through in a big way. Why? Because it didn't seem like CL was listening. Things are getting better. The programming staff at CL should be congradulated for fixing the bugs as quickly as they have. Those poor sods are working their tales off for us, and I for one thank them from the bottom of my heart. They, and the beta testers have taken more than their fair share of abuse, when most of the problems came from management decisions. 5) What do I want? I want the rest of the bugs fixed. I want Content Paradise up. I want a set of figures that are a real improvement to Posette and the Dork. Judy and Don were a great dissappointment. I want CL to work with 3rd party providers so that they start producing more P5 specific content. Hopefully, this will happen on Monday when CL and Daz begin discussions again. And when P6 comes out, I don't want to have to go through this again when I preorder it. I don't really think I'm asking for that much.
