are 3d software companies making a profit on our back... 2004-02-23 - By Andrew Turner

It's probably happened at some point, but I doubt very often in cases of
things like 3d software.
After all, if a feature is "ready to go", or nearly so, it seems it would
serve the publisher/creator better to release features as plug-ins and
charge for them, and perhaps incorporate them in future releases, as is
often the case.
Now, if it happened that a company had some sort of fundamental piece
missing which it then charges for, it may be a different story, but again, I
think it's probably pretty rare.
After all, the features that may be withheld may be the ones that sell to
people who wouldn't have purchased the software otherwise.

phic software companies deliberately holding featurres out
when they release a new version of their software.
it seems that not long ago you had to wait at least or almost 2
years to see a new version of a program to come, now sometimes even
under a year and you have to spend again to get the new gadgets
included in the new version of your favorite software.
it feels more and more like the cpu wars where each month intel and
amd come out with the supreme cpu but the next month that supreme
cpu is not so supreme anymore.
believe me i have tried every major 3d graphic apps out there and i
find that some of them are extremely good while others have cool
features.
