I think you could make a case that it happens with features that are listed
on some 3d softs that don't work (let's say animation features) or that
haven't been fixed but they are advertised on the feature list, then a few
versions later they might get addressed by the company and wouldn't you
know that you can have them for an upgrade price of course. That I feel is
different than, say a problem with a new feature such as shadow catcher
with skylight.....I would imagine that would get fixed instead of re-touted
as a new feature that one would have to pay an upgrade price to receive,
plus it's probably not specifically called out on a feature list.

here is a tought that has been juggling in my mind for a while.
the question is:
are graphic 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.
but another question comes to mind now. since all those software are
accessible, are companies making the effort to look at those
features and trying to implement them in their app, i don' t mean
blatently stealing an idea from an app but saying that " hey we
should be able to do that in our app too and why not".
after all it is a question of getting the "coding" done.
i know if i don't like an app i can always looks someplace else.
like they say if you don't like pepsi drink coke but then again it
is still pop.
i wonder if the effort is made sometimes or things delayed for the
sake of profit only.
just a tought
