Come on, do us something as a gesture of loyalty
Offering an upgrade price now, wouldn't be very loyal to customers that already bought it at list price.
We tried to hold our side of the deal, by offering constant free updates to GSX since 2012 when it initially came out, keeping users always updated in their journey from FSX, then FSX:SE, then P3D 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, with some updates being really massive and costed months of full time work, like when we remodeled lots of objects in PBR when P3D 4.4 came out. Never once we asked for any extra money for the past 11 years, and the GSX L2 was made as an *optional* expansion, not a mandatory paid update to support a new simulator. I think this is unheard of in the flight sim business, considering our products are not subscription-based.
I think 10 was a good time to finally release a new paid version, on a new platform.
