I can understand people complaining about the price. But there is so much work going in to creating a software and people to be payed. The price is a bit high for normal users but corporate users pretty cheap, at the end of he day, RI just make money off the software once, so they have to try and make a profit, maybe they should offer the software like Adobe does for a monthly price. We can't deny this forum is really helpful too!! I appreciate the hard work and their product  , hope everyone finds great satisfaction with their work and forget the price, Tumba and Puff made me laugh so hard, I can't wait to buy the full version!! I will be using it to make fun of my boss and colleagues

I certainly HOPE NOT!!!! I'm with you there. Adobe now threatens to sue people who use older versions of some of their software: https://www.creativebloq.com/news/old-adobe-apps.
It's a diabolical enterprise. Just greed and lawyers...

I would happily pay a subscription fee for CTA if it means solid tech support, quick bug fixes, and quick access to the latest features as they are made available. I don't want to wait 2 years for X functionality. if it can be done in 3 months and added as part of my subscription, I'm happy to keep paying.

I'm confused about the upgrade price. Rather than an upgrade price, it appears to be an introductory discount for everyone. Am is missing something?

I don't want to wait 2 years for X functionality. if it can be done in 3 months and added as part of my subscription, I'm happy to keep paying.This may be a good model for professionals, semi-professionals and die hard hobbyists, but not for some of us who are not at these levels. Don't get me wrong, I had to go with the subscription model with Adobe, because I use several of their products for work and needed to keep up with any changes and new functionalities. If/when the situation arises when CTA or iClone are needed as part of my workflow on the job, then I would go to the subscription model. Maybe Reallusion could offer 2 models: 1. The Subscription model - pay a monthly fee (all fixes, updates and upgrades are available immediately) 2, The Single Purchase model - pay a single price, the same as now (the "fixes" would be available to immediately), but one would pay to upgrade ( the same as now) Just a thought!

Happy be I need not subcription Aplicationools and I'm missing nothing . Also I have Maya LT canceled since autodesk has twice debited and so much trouble to get my mony back , Anyway, Maya with CC3 become obsolete At the end you pay for software over and over ,although that you have than hobbyist not many time to use it, I think also subscription is nice fo companys but not for a normal User. Animator 4 has such a fair price, what do you think how much would be such monthly fee? I hope RL jump not in this subscription Model.

Yes I feel a bit cheated because I bought the version 3 Pipeline at the beginning of the year which included version 4 upon release, I expected it to include Mocap as there was no indication it was going to be an extra payment, I now find I have to pay extra for something that was included in version 3. Had I realized this was going to be the case I would have waited and bought CA4 with the Mocap for the same price I paid for CTA3, Now I have to pay an extra $99 for a free upgrade if I want Mocap. Dividing features up into plugins is a underhanded way of increasing the price for loyal customer, Not good!Agreed, I am CTA2 user and was excited to receive CA4, Specifically to use the mocap feature. Tacking on a plugin that used to be included is wrong, IMO.

Brand new customers purchasing CTA4 will pay more than existing customers. For example, a new customer purchasing Cartoon Animator 4 Pipeline will pay $199, existing customers pay $149.
