I think it's especially aberrant to ask customers to pay 40% of the price you asked just 7 months before.
I really feel like I'm being held hostage.
C.K. announced quickly that there will probably be paid upgrades but he could announce that it would be far from trivial and that the price surplus would be surely important.....
Bad surprise, bad day, bad disappointement....
For the company's blind defenders, the price is fair, but the market will provide the answer.
Many customers and friends gave up buying the Player because of this decision: "If I pay the 299 usd for the LVL 3 upgrade, who can guarantee that in a year's time, they won't launch the even more expensive upgrades 4 and 5?"
Many people have a hard time understanding that people chose Kemper for the sound (obviously) and for the business model presented in all these years of Profiler Head and later Stage, to avoid obsolescence and crippleware.
My tip: get out of the forum bubble, read the owner's comments, including on Kemper's official pages.
Not giving a minimum discount to loyal customers was a poor decision.
