In all fairness, I'm still amazed that we get ANY updates for free. I can't seem to understand how Blitz Research is making any money on this product by giving everything away. I would have expected, say, a years worth of updates after purchasing, but to expect to get updates for free forever... well, that just seems unrealistic. (Anyone every hear of a company called Microsoft?)
Another thing seems to escape logic here and that's that obviously some Blitz Users are purchasing "Vapor Ware" or "Future Ware"??? (Excluding, of course, anyone who feels they were mislead). But as I recall, there was a trial period to the demo, which allows you to check out the program (thoroughly) before purchasing. When I bought it, I thought I was purchasing Blitz3D, not BlitzMAX or BlitzDX9 or Blitz2006...
Anyway, I would rather see Blitz Users paying some sort of "Annual Maintenance Fee" for the Blitz Products vs. this "One Time Gets All" concept. Why??? Well, I'd like to know that the person (or persons) behind the future development of this product are going to KEEP developing this product. My fear would be to come to this site one day and find that Blitz has been discontinued due to "lack of funding".
So, to those who want everything for free, just remember... you get what you pay for.
Well, that's just my opinion... I could be wrong ;)
