I've been using BIAB since 2.0 for DOS. Consistent upgrades, every year, plus additional purchases. I felt it worthwhile to support PG Music for a number of reasons. I also recommended BIAB to everyone (I'm a professional touring musician).

Last year I bit the bullet and got the 2010 Everything Pak. When July rolled around and they offered the 10.5 upgrade, I declined - it seemed like more of a patch upgrade than anything else.

I got confused when 11.0 came out. An upgrade was $179 or something like that. And I already had most of the stuff, so it seemed like I was paying that for the new version of BIAB (usually a $29 upgrade) plus some new styles that I didn't even know if I wanted. Now it's 11.5, and they want an astounding $379 to upgrade from 10.

What the heck happened to PG Music? I've been a loyal customer because they've been fair. Now it seems like the attitude is "We're going to upgrade twice a year, you'll have to pay through the nose for the same stuff you have now plus a bit more, and that's it Jack."

Am I missing something here?
