Right, if you aren't in the Pclub it makes that price $109.
And interesting that some one was on fast when I miss quoted spooky, but hasn't tryed to argue about the facts I presented or assumtions I made based on them; maybe I should say truths rather then facts.
Look at it this way DAZ has succeeded in adding a bunch of new people to the Pclub that will of coarse buy content because of the discount {momoney}. They have succeeded in convincing people the a .5 update is worth $285 by throwing up some smoke and mirrors discounts to obscure this fact {momoney} And moved a bunch of people up from older version of carrara to the new version with Genesi {momoney}. DAZ wins out all the way around, off the back of us carrarest.
Hey DAZ why not try to charge Studio users for Studio again, didn't work last time, but I'm sure you can make it work this time. Easy enough just put a 399.95 price tag on it, offer 2 or 3 ?% discounts on it and I'm sure people will jump up to pay for that free app this time. {momoney} Maybe if you included some two year old content for an out dated figure they'd just jump on it.
Or better yet, pull a Studio and after charging people for C8.5 change your mind and make it free. It's not like you wont make it up this winter when you charge everyone $800 for C9, oh wait, that will just be C8.1 owners, C8.5 owners will get 50% off, maybe.
3 easy ways to kill an app. Don't fix bugs, don't add modern features, over charge you customers. Dead app, now go write it off on your taxes.
