Arturia is one of the "good guys"!!!

Sure, some folks may have gripes, or issues with Arturia upgrades. But bottom line is their products are high quality, and they occasionally give away things for free, and also issue free updates for products that you own.

So "getting it" is more about supporting the "good guys", rather than always wanting to get over on them. Sure, everyone wants a good deal, but hopefully the "good guys" will stay in business for a long time, with our support!

I def agree. 
I have microbrute, microfreak, and keystep and tech support has been great.
v8.1 fx collection 2 and pigments software side. 
mayb I thought if I’m asking for too much when I see myself spend more over a product/ license  than New customers .. that’s the only issue I had but nevermind now.

That is just wrong on so many levels... logically and otherwise.
You're trying to justify an action based on a flawed premise.

Ok.  Guess I really don’t get it then.

 Best to move on.

Were your original purchases and upgrades done at Black Friday prices? Though I do agree, the upgrade path could be cheaper.

Yes. These were all sale / offer price purchases

I believe that is a fairly common software industry practice. No surprises here...

I agree that if one benefits from upgrade pricing, that there should be no expectation of un-linking the previous product that the upgrade price was based upon. As it should be, and totally fair to the software publisher. You are free to disagree, but it is what it is. 😉

ok mayb I’m new to this industry practice but don’t understand it.

There is actually no benefit.. imo 

newly owned price during Black Friday or any other discounted days comes to same as when we keep upgrading. Infact even lesser. 
 
Example over the years how I upgraded - 

arp2600 - v collection 4 - v7- v8 

40-65-99-149 $ - total 353$

Today new customers get v8 for 249$ 

So eventually will end up paying more for than new customers , at some point old version has to be sold to make it equal. I’m glad the bug existed and got rid of arp2600 and v4.

So would I be able to sell v4 if I upgrade now?

No.. 

Only said this cause I was able to sell v4 after getting v7.. 

I asked them if I could sell fx collection after having fx collection 2.. was not allowed.

I further asked if I cud sell v collection 7 since I had 8.. but I can’t.. sorry I don’t intend to spread any fake news ,, just sharing my own experience .. 

Also hello to all.. I’ve been a follower of this forum for long  time..  decided to start replying and participate in discussions now.. thanks to clarry for all the hard work ! 🙏❤️
