If you are going to be charged to correct the bugs then you should be given a choice of a refund since you didn't get a workable product in the first place. I've been a Hoster user as long as you have. Times are tough for us as well as MTU. If I spend money for a software product it may well be based on my budget as to what I can spend. If it doesn't work, maybe I can't afford to invest more money than what I had planned on. I know MTU has spent lots of money and time on the issues they encounter with Hoster. I know they didn't expect to run into all the problems with Vista. But, the bottom line is that they are in business for the sole purpose to make money. When you are selling product you take the risk. If things don't go as planned, your customers shouldn't have to pay the tab otherwise how long does this go on and at what expense to the customer? I have no problem paying for upgrades that offer new features. If I do, it is my choice based on the interest in the new product. If it doesn't work properly I don't want to pay again. That's my view and yes I have every MTU program and have enjoyed their products very much up and until 4.00. I don't believe we have received all of the features that were originally supposed to be released in increments after 4.00. I appreciate all the help you have given not only to me but all the people that use this site. You are the moderator and I understand you are going to defend MTU until your last breath but understand that not everyone see things as you do. No offense intended.

I understand what you are saying. Basically you are all saying that having to buy 4.22 since it is really a bug fix and not new features, that you feel this is wrong. You say you have no problem paying for upgrades that offer new features, but you have not paid for those upgrades that added new features through out Version 4's development. You have gotten all those upgrades for free. Version 4.0 released in July 2008 with many upgrades given out freely between it and now. This is now August 2010, two years after the initial release (yes I know some of you did not use Hoster the whole time) and now you don't want to pay for having all of this? How about looking at it as you are paying a reduced price for all of those features that have been put in and not the fact that this particular upgrade is mostly fixes.
Walt, Admin never promised to put everything asked for in. They said they would try. Some of the items just have not worked out and were dropped. Yes there is at least one more that I can think of that hasn't been put in yet and that is Tempo Change. It should be coming soon and if you are within your 12 months since your last purchase when it is released then it will be free. If not then those users will need pay an upgrade or as you said if they don't need this feature then they can skip it.
Walt I don't take offense to anything said in here as long as my character isn't attacked

Now gentlemen I think this will be the last I will have to say about this subject. I understand your feelings and I have tried to state a view from the other side. Nothing more can be said.
If anyone has any problems they want to discuss or help with please post it in another thread.
