As you'll probably realise, a great many of us have said similar over the years.

I presume PGM's thinking is that 'Pro' applies to the software and everything else is add-on styles/sounds. Then it's logical in a way, but I continue to feel that annoying ones customers is not a great business philosophy.

One must remember, though, that part of the cost of the add-ons comes from paying the musicians who create the content. And there's a lot of content.

Before I first started with PGM products, I found the plethora of packages, combinations, names, prices and option totally confusing. Well, I still do in part. That's also the case with many other music software companies.

The obfuscation often makes me feel me like we're being deliberately gaslit by some vendors.

In practice, PGM seem generally pretty straight with their customers, though also sometimes seriously frustrating.
