I hadn’t really given this much thought until now.
Now, I’ve decided to give it no more thought.
Whatever I might save on some special promotion will surely be lost within the cost of booze and cigarettes (among other things) … 
But, but … what about ME! I deserve something, too! 
Get over it, people. When you paid for your software, you must have thought the price was fair at that time? If I remember correctly, Steinberg was offering refunds for those who felt completely screwed over by their Cubase 7 purchase.
Every time a company offers a promotion, someone is going to feel like he just took a high, hard one. It’s happened multiple times with me and IK Multimedia, for example. It’s just the way things work. I guess you would have been happy if they offered nothing to nobody?
I’m not a “fanboy”. Just stating the obvious facts for the overly-sensitive types …
