I think the same, I guess when months go by and they see that users are not buying, next year they will release something.
They wanted to put me in the enterprise license.
These last years I have spent more than 1000$, they will know. Zero purchases, I think it's worse. They will bring out coupons, or whatever they want, ;-)

Depending on how Content Store sales continue to develop in the absence of the Elite program, I kind of expect Reallusion to come up with new discount programs and/or promotions. Which is fine for people who can wait for good deals but not so good for those how may have an urgent need for certain assets. With Elite, it was easier to plan for such "contingencies".

Same here, I spent $500 on whatever I could possibly need simply to take advantage off what remained of the Elite status.
Only thing available now is prime but I have to pay for that, its not earnt from loyalty like Elite was.

But yeah, I’ve been spending thousands per year mostly because of that program.
I’ll be reducing from buying almost everything new that lands to buying almost nothing. Yup, me too. I did load up on Content Store assets before the Elite program ran out, though. So it will be a while before enough new stuff gets published and it really sinks in for me. Also, with no more Elite discount, I no longer have to wait for several weeks or months for "certified" products to "move" from the Marketplace to the Content Store. As a hobbyist, I don't exactly "need" any 3D assets (not just speaking only of iClone/CC content here); some assets are more useful than others but there is nothing really worth paying full list price for (unless it is 5 USD or less). In other words, the discontinuation of the Elite program simply means that any asset needs to score higher on the usefulness scale before I make a purchase and there will be fewer purchases just in case I might ever want to use an asset one day.

Hilarious reasoning. To streamline :) what a joke.

Wow, this is a major blow for me, having been an elite member for 4 or more years, I have spent £££k per year to have a library of resources but the removal on top of the extra expense due to licenses, which Reallusion didnt cater for those with iContent to Standard, the loss of elite is probably the death knell for me for Iclone unless there's a serious change.
Iclone and CC are fantastic creative toolboxes that like many has enabled me to do what I thought was once impossible at my entry level.
I wish there were competing products!

Well, IMO the ActorCore welcome coupon does not really make up for the loss of the Elite program. The problem with ActorCore is the limited product range: I already own pretty much all of the motion packs available there (however, purchased from the Content Store/the Marketplace) and have little interest in the ActorScan or ActorBuild assets for quality reasons.

As sad as I was about the end of the Elite program, I wouldn't be able to make $600 worth of purchases this year anyway. RL constantly releases great products and it's impossible for me to keep up right now. However, every member here has the right to receive a 40% welcome coupon. It is automatically defined for Actorcore. For the content store, you need to redeem this coupon yourself. https://www.reallusion.com/ContentStore/new-member/default.htmlI got this free coupon and will save it for a good shopping next year. I'm going to make one last purchase, even if it's small, with my elite coupon this year. But if you have an elite coupon, be careful. The system gives priority to the welcome coupon. After removing the welcome coupon, activate the elite coupon.

Yes, I think so, too. I still expect RL to offer special holiday deals and the like, but getting 40% off all year around was pretty sweet.

Thank you for this post. It's disappointing and a mistake on their part..
