If you have already bought carrara why buy it again at any price?

As I said, you are not buying an update, you are buying carrara all over again. Simple as that. Is that right?

DAZ promesed us; and repeatedly, the .5 upsate would be a nominal fee. Nothing was said about buying carrara again. So as mad as I was about of the price of a .5 update being $285, how do you think I feel about DAZ trying to resell me carrara?

We were promised an update. We did not get one. What we are getting is the privelage of buying carrara all over again. I don't want to buy carrara again, I just want the .5 update DAZ has been promising for 2 years and at the promised nominal fee. Am I some how wrong in expecting DAZ to live up to their word? Or has it got to the point DAZ can pretty well say what they llike because no one will hold them to it?

The languge may have been raw but that doesn't change the fact DAZ has done us carraraests wrong, and in a major way. I'm not at all sure why people don't see this. And it boogles my mind people would not only support it, but defend it.

The raw languge was a slap in the face in an attempt to wake people up to this. Buying in to it just encourages DAZ to do it again; and I mean with any product. It gives DAZ the green light to end the upgrade path. You will nolonger beable to upgrade carrara. You will have to buy a new version every release.

2 years ago there would have been such an out cry by carraraest that it would have shut down any and all carrara sales. We've done it before. Just when did carraraest do this about face? At that time it was only a proposed $65 dollar charge for C6.5. We found that so wrong we nipped it in the bud. Now DAZ is selling you carrara again, and calling it an upgrade. If $65 was out of the question then, why is $285 so exceptable now? What has happend in 2 years to so drastically change peoples opinons?

 

Now the news has already accidently been leaked out there wont be an upgrade path from C8 to C9. As I said, the upgrade path is dead now. So If you don't get C8.5 to get the expected 50% off C9, as an owner of C8 you can expect to pay full price for C9. That sort of puts a gun to my head to buy C8.5, or else I will have to pay full price for C9; which I anticipate being $800-1000. This is something C8 owners need to be aware of.

16/19 folks.
