I just need to vent against Clickteam somewhere. > I got MMF 1.0 sometime around 1999, I think. I remember waiting with baited breath for 1.2 to come out. A few weeks ago I found out about 1.5, I figured YAY, I can get the newest version. But after a quick look at the website, I found to my dismay I gotta pay for it. Oh well, 25 (what I heard) bucks isn't that bad. I e-mail the upgrade guys to find out it's only a 30% discount!! That's only $30 less than I paid originally, for a patch? What kind of a rip off is that? I e-mailed Jeff V. and he says they don't have a record of my name, but still, if I've got a valid serial number, how do they figure $70 is a fair price for a freaking patch? </rant>
This is why we make use of that thing that they install with the program called "Register Multimedia Fusion" under your program's folder in the start menu! =
Doing this will make it easier for the company who made the program to track down who you are and if you really did buy it to verify if you are valid for what special offers in the future!
$70 is a very good price, considering what you're getting is a super over powered game and application designing program that has the power to destroy computers.
Anyway that does sound abit like you've been screwed but in most cases like this its the buyer who gets screwed. So dont go thinking its really bad that you've been screwed by clickteam because everyone gets screwed by everyone else.
Clickteam is godzilla and the rest of we are 100,000 screaming japanese... but not because they want money for their product SHOCK HORROR... what's next? Electricity bills? They're evil for way worse reasons which I'm too tired to go into now.
Show me the power child,
I'd like to say,
That I'm down on my knees today,
Gives me the butterflies,
Gives me away,
'Til I'm up on my feet again,
I'm feeling outshined.
Just wait until they graduate from school and are forced to get their own jobs, and if they don't move out into their own place they are forced to pay home rent by their parents in the meantime. They'll have a new thing to call evil, and they'll realize it's worse than paying $70 once for a product. =P
I dont believe Click Team is evil or anything alike.
I got a dicount when I bought MMF1.5 ... I had TGF retail and got a discount even withought showing any evidence ... they never asked ... I could prove it easily of course as I DO have it.
MMF 1.5 is almost a new product compared to MMF1.0 ... so I dont think its interely unfair to pay for a new product.
Oh my... perhaps I should've kept my mouth shut. I wouldn't say 1.5 is a completely redesigned package though. I've got the demo and the majority of the things I noticed aren't all that huge and great and new. Pardon me if I'm just ignorant. By the way... Does anyone remember if you used to be able to buy MMF right from the IMSI site?
