@Toby,
Imagine you are little Jonny programmer, and you are going to Buy B3d for yourself, and so you save and save, and buy B3d, (You looked round, and couldnt afford DBpro and packs. Didnt like Cobra, and think basic is better than c++). You buy your loverly B3d, and join the forums and start asking questions, (Lets say you buy Terraed, and spritecandy as well).
Then two weeks later max3d is released. Now maybe you whouldnt have bought Max3d anyway, and maybe you were fully aware that Max3d was comming one day. But I think that most would hold off buying b3d once the release day for Max3d was closer. So the only ones who would be buying it, would be them who didnt know.
In such a case, being able to say, look thats why its cheaper atm, would be good policy.
(Come on who is going to buy b3d in the month before max3d comes out? Hardly anyone), so making it a "End of season" sale might shift a few more of them.
All the review sites for Game Langs, are going to start to say
"D3b, BRL's execelent language for the begginner wishing to program in 3d under windows. BRL no are longer supporting updates for D3b as the expected release of its sucessor Bmax3d approaches"
Then Maybe?
"Its a highly versitile Language dispite its outdated engine, and given its recent price drop, still highly recomended"
