So, I am in a seriously foul mood so lets do this right.

DAZ_jared If I own C8.1, C8.5 is an update, not an upgrade. C9 would be an upgrade.

" If you join the Platinum Club you get an additional 40% off whatever version you purchase (pro or standard)."DAZ_jared

So I have to buy something I already own? Then it isn't even an update. It's the forced repurchasing of something I already own to get the update. That is just wrong regardless of the % off to get it. See smoke and mirrors.

"If you look at the feature list, and the included content the price is very reasonable." DAZ_jared

Considering it has been out for two years and most people that are interested in Genesis already have them, no. You're just giving them something they more then likely already have. At least when the mil4 figures came with C8 they were still in development. G1 is not.

And the one that gets me and I have raed a few times is "I'm buying it to show my support for carrara"

Sorry, all you are doing is convincing DAZ they can screw you around anytime they want as long as they give you a good discount to do it.

This sale may be a boon to those that don't already own C8.1, but if you do, and bought it, you just paid DAZ to screw you over, and DAZ didn't even give you a proper reach around did they? Bet that didn't come with a towel or kiss ether. Oh wait, it came with some 2 year old content for an out dated figure, there's your towel and kiss.

Not sure which has me more agitated, DAZ trying to sell me C8.5 when I own C8.1 or people buying it and giving DAZ the ok to screw us around again, at their leasure.

Well at least we aren't DAZ's redheaded step children, now we are DAZ cash puppets. DAZ just pulls the string and people empty their pockets.
