whoa whoa whoa.

hell this?

mainstage "2.2" paid upgrade users spent $500 boxed copy?

seriously?

5 hundred dollars, , because there's no easy way upgrade stuff wasn't purchased through app store (that is, apple lazy implement system can buy mas version of app free if own externally)- have pay $30 own minor version bump, , other critical bug fixes?

let me guess, when logic 9.2 hits, i'll have pay 2 hundred ($200) dollars upgrade well?

don't mind paying major updates. don't. logic 7, logic 8, logic 9. bought them all.

however, if apple going nail me $30 (for mainstage, or $200 logic pro) minor upgrades fix critical bugs, **** ****. platform dead. don't have time crap, bought apple because platform stable , reliable. don't give flying **** mac app store, apparently apple enough try , penny/nickel me death because don't give **** users paid boxed version of software, , offer no suitable upgrade path mas versions.

out of control. apple out of control.

how supposed invest in platform treats it's users this? know idiot masses will, because don't know better. professionals? oh, right, i'm sure apple going take care of logic 10, , that, mean they'll target youtubers think it's hilarious re-live scene freddy got fingered ("daddy want sausage?") on $50 m-audio keyboards.
