Piotr Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Not everyone.

It's a little confusing on the surface but basically they just lowered the prices of the Retail versions to the Upgrade price.

Yep, I understand intention this promo but it is also kind of ironic for me if reading literally its name, is it? IK always had great promos for new users or users with a small number of their prods. Unfortunately for users with almost everything (or everything) upgrade is kind of frustrating about price. It is their choice - of course - to treat light hitters or newcomers as heavy hitters. But is it causing heavy hitters to feel appreciated? Rhetoric question... I guess... Also nice to be answered. Even if it would be not expected type of answer better than to be ignored.

I know exactly what you mean. It would be good to have some sort of "extra" perk or "loyalty" bonus for those who have purchased and used the products for a long time. I think Jam Points and such might be a way they try and do this. You can possibly use those for promotions like these I imagine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Jam Points and such might be a way they try and do this. You can possibly use those for promotions like these I imagine? True I can only lower down to 70% price (but need to add 23% VAT) so it would still stay quite high especially comparing kind of upgrade. It would be nice if IK would offer kind of technology level upgrade, not giving any modules included but just updating engine itself. I would gladly stay with modules I already have (lacking one is leslie which I don't need at all). I am trying to find a good offer for upgrade but cannot. So this is way I have created question to sales. And this is why it is double frustrating not to be answered...

Far better bargains will come. Edited March 7, 2019 by kitekrazy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No love for us IPad users We had Lurssen Mastering Console IAP on sale from mid-November 2018 through January 8th in our Partner Celebration promotion, but I'll suggest we include it in a near-future promo for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 (edited) Well... I got answer from IK M. To be honest I feel like a bot answered not anybody who dig into thing to understand what I am saying... "To check if you are eligible for crossgrade pricing, go to “Crossgrade/Upgrade” in your User Area: www.ikmultimedia.com/userarea Your final price will be reflected upon checkout. You may also apply Jam Points towards your purchases for even greater discounts!" Well. I was aware of that from start and this is why I used a word 'reasonable' because in my user crossgrade area I have such offer: €299.99 excl. VAT (€365.99 incl. VAT) You may also apply Jam Points towards your purchases for even greater discounts!" Using Jam point I could have it with irresistible price the only 256 EUR from my pocket... Wow... So seriously... is it reasonable offer to migrate from TR4 MAX (having all new TR5 modules except Leslie) to TR5 MAX ? But well... I asked and got answered so am I a weirdo to be still unhappy?

Michael Vogel Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 How can there be so many specials but no real discounts. Sorry I’ll stick with the IKM stuff that I have now but won’t be getting any others. Add to that when you’re in Australia you’re effectively penalised around 35% because of exchange rates. Just priced themselves out of the market for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just priced themselves out of the market for me. I have to agree. I wanted to upgrade Sampletank 3 to 4 but I'm sick of being a beta tester for new releases. I'll get it later after a few updates and when they have it on sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
