I SAID in the following post...



Again, it's not THE REASON... I was illustrating a point.

Again... you did NOT buy a license. You bought a product.

I think I'm going to shut up now... I'm beating my head against a tree.

Then why have SDC running at all? Why not just switch it off, move on to Impulse and tell everyone who'll complain about it to suck it up?



I've explained in my earlier message why I care about the alpha patch. I AM entitled to updates to OD+ if I have problems with my product and it's not working 100%, which is the case. It's my right as a customer to have a product that works 100%. There are no time limitations set out in OD+ license so your reference to "2 years ago" is completely unjustified.



Don't make it sound like you did me or anyone a favour. The alpha provides fixes to try to make sure that the product works 100%, that's your obligation to every one of your customers.



Here they are...again:
Furthermore, any chance of a changelog for this alpha? Are there any ideas about plans of releasing the next stable build of OD+? What sort of pricing structure to upgrade to 2.0 (when it comes out) should we expect? Which current bugs in OD+ are given more priority?



I think yes. If the car is acting up due to a manufacturing error that was there upon the point of manufacturing and/or got aggravated over the period of those 2 years then I'd have every right to complain.



I wasn't criticising that. What I was criticising was that in the past year you've been giving unjustifiably more attention to some products more than others. And considering that people pay the same price for those products, then some people are getting better value for money than others. There are no excuses for making people feel left out like that.

Seriously, make your mind up. Because in reply #69 of this thread KarmaGirl said this

can someone please scratch this record, It's getting boring listening to it again and again

Then close your eyes and put cotton buds in your ears. You don't have to listen to it, it's not compulsory.

 iVAN...your claim of a contradiction was/is an error of comprehension on your part.

Stardock may wish wide access to Impulse for feedback, BUT AT THE SAME TIME may NOT want the OD release to go to 'established/happy/stable' users of SDC so released it to Impulse adopters/trialists only.

WHATEVER the reason, It is NOT my call, nor is it yours.

jpkylegirl gave a valid/legitimate reason...update/revision number confusion occuring with users of both Impulse and SDC.  Sounds about right.

I doubt whether any amount of foot-stamping and claims of ignored queries will result in a revision of dispensing procedure.

As for ...

There is nothing to say that SDC will be actively uninstalled by formal adoption of Impulse, though it is perhaps a sensible method of handling such a change, but then again about that 'road'...unless you actually INSTALL IMPULSE YOURSELF you CANNOT argue otherwise.  It may just work and like, wow,...you have your update and an end to the dramatics.

Stranger things have happened....

Sorry - KarmaGirl is right.  I remembered wrong what she said.  Time for me to get my morning caffiene drip so my brain will function properly.  Again, my apologies.

Why would they not want that? Is it a reward for trying Impulse? Or are SDC users not worthy?



Technically, I can and I will. Suggesting that I'd install it is like asking me to jump into a pond to swim while knowing that some people have been bitten by a crocodile in there and are back on dry land for good. I may not see the crocodile, but until someone gets the shotgun out and nails him my little toe isn't getting near the dampness. So to speak...

iVan what part of



do you not comprehend?

And since no one mentioned this fact....Stardock Central is a free product, and SD can do whatever they please with it. Impulse is also a free product, and the same holds true. Whether you purchased OD+ or not has absolutely no bearing on how SD chooses to release updates for it.

You have been told that the Alpha is NOT going to be released on SDC. Why is that so hard to grasp?

Get Impulse, install the alpha (unsupported) patch.  Done.

The matter is closed.

please?.....pretty please?.....with sugar on it?


As I business owner, I'd like to commend every Stardock representative who has replied to this. Outstanding show of patience.

And why doesn't OD+ (alpha) skin the command prompt?!?!?!?  

 

*gets on a plane to Texas with a bowling pin in hand* NO! I won't check it!

Which part of "I will sift through the confusion" don't you understand? From where I stand, if you start releasing updates only through Impulse then cut SDC off completely. It's no good offering partials here and there. Sitting on the fence like that is absolute rubbish.



I don't care if SDC or Impulse are free products. OD+ isn't a free product and that's what matters to me. It's not working 100% and that's what matters to me. Stardock doesn't seem to give a damn about releasing updates as frequently as they do for at least one other same-priced product and that matters to me too.
