What am I missing?
Well, from my perspective, transparency.
They knew it was within a few months of End-of-Life, and this was not communicated, irrespective of costs/total-costs between ver 2 and ver 1 + upgrade.
IMHO would have been much better for them to say ver 1 is EOL, but ver 1 sale price + ver 2 upgrade price will = ver 2 price.
$ is not the problem, lack of transparency/respect for customers is.

Fast response to my inquiry, but not good news (IMO)
One reason SSS1 w the Expansion was priced at $49.98 instead of its normal price of $119.98 (which is what the vast majority of individuals paid) is because the new version was coming out.
Would have been nice of them to tell us this. "Transparency," what a concept.
SD3 and SSS1 will be enough for me. Not paying $70 for an "upgrade" on a $49 product.
So glad I didn't previously fall for their "Four for three" sales pitch. Doubt I will ever purchase anything from them again.

For those of us of more modest means who are willing to take a chance and be patient, one potential option might be to presently purchase a SoundToys gift-card for ~$200 (with those monies being donated by ST), and wait until BF/CM in the "hope" that ST will again offer the Bundle for ~$229. This would still allow a (more modest) donation to be made, and the Donor to (possibly/eventually) obtain the Bundle for $229 vice $499.
From the e-mail ST sent me:
Quoteyou can still participate by purchasing a Gift Card. Gift it to someone who loves Soundtoys, or keep it for the next release!

Here we go again with my GAS and FOMO . . .
I'm certain $29 is a "fair price", but I was able to get the entirety of FX Collection 2 for $69 - a little more than twice what is being asked for this single effect . . .

Have heard good things about GM, hoping they're true.
Received a 33% discount code for signing up to their newsletter.
Discount won't apply to the MegaPack. Fair enough, I guess.
But, I am pretty certain that previously they offered other discount codes (15%? 20%?) that did apply to the MegaPack, bringing the cost down to the $120-ish range.
When it gets to that price-point again, I hope I am still interested.

Ok, so where do I get me some (and at what cost) "unlicensed Mixbus32C software" ?
QuoteThis license will unlock the full potential of Mixbus32C by eliminating the "Demo Noise" from unlicensed Mixbus32C software.

Know I want it, question is if I can wait for a (hopeful) GroupBuy in about 4-5 months . . .
Gotta start collecting Orange Slices . . .

Pulled the trigger on:
SSL Native X-Comp
SSL Native X-EQ 2
SSL Native X-Phase
20% tax was removed by the time it came to actually pay.
Already own SSL Native X-Saturator & SSL Native Drumstrip, so I guess I am halfway "there" . . . hope I have enough GAS to continue . . .

Is X-Phase @ $24.99 a part of SSL's 3 for 2 deal?
It isn't "officially" listed as an eligible product.
Did you place all 3 in your cart and see the 3-for-2 pricing?
EDIT --> Appears to work for plugins not "officially" listed. Added 25 + 30 + 40 = 95 - 25 = 70 BUT charging me 20% ($14) tax, for a total of $84 ?!

SSL 3 for 2:
$19.99 SSL Native X-Saturator
$19.99 SSL Native X-ValveComp
$29.00 SSL Native X-Comp
$39.99 SSL Native X-EQ 2
$199.00 SSL Native Drumstrip
$279.00 SSL Native FlexVerb
$329.00 SSL Native Bus Compressor 2
$329.00 SSL Native Channel Strip 2
Purchased X-Saturator during recent sale.
Three lowest cost for me are 20 +30 + 40 = 90 - 20 = 70 for 3, or about $23 per

Are they virtual only, or do they have a physical presence?
Any other forums saying anything about this?
During recent TT sale, used my remaining T&S gift card and most of my Loyalty Points.

If you notice...I ALWAYS have the link to my KVR sale in my signature...t!
If a new sub-forum for User Deals is ultimately decided to not be feasible, this seems to be a reasonable potential solution, as I already know who from Cakewalk I would trust at other sites (KVR, VI-Control, KnobCloud)

and
then to the question
Answer: By knowing the "type" of company I would be dealing with. The difference between someone like OTS and IKM. I will gladly do business with OTS, while I will not even d/l any freebies from IKM.
