What Are We Doing With the Extra $10?

What Are We Doing With the Extra $10?

Today we announced that the subscription price for WinCustomize was going to go up $10/year from $20 to $30.  Now, of course we had to come up with a good justification for this, something that would fool the sheep of the forums into believing we did this for their own good and that they're getting the better end of the deal.

But, just between you and me?  Complete BS. 

As some of you may know, today's Angie's birthday, so as a gift the company bought her a new car...

So that would have probably accounted for a $2.50 increase per subscription, but some of us were looking at that car and asked "What about us?"  After some haggling and stomping of feet and numerous rude gestures, we sold upper management on the idea of the Stardock Porsche Fleet...

Each, of course, added $2.50 to the unit cost of a WinCustomize subscription. 

That's why the subscription is now $10 more per year.  Gotta pay for the fancy cars!

Now, I know some of you are probably getting worked up about this turn of events, especially considering how we told you it was really about the free skins, and not the Porsche fleet.  To calm your nerves, here's a serene picture of some geese...

That's right, here at Stardock HQ we have a fleet of Porsches AND cute little baby geese!

No kidding.

You're ranting and foaming at the mouth over a spoof, and you want US to grow up? Get a life already! A lawyer would think"Gee what a moron" but I'm no lawyer.

Oh good Lord.

Bruce Edwards.... I'm sorry you clearly were last in line for a sense of humour.

I really am.

What's even more amusing is the clear laziness...using the same pic and a bit of photoshopping.....come on, guys...at least let's have three individual signs....;)

Karmagirl....I'll go with the Roo pinching mine...so could you send an Aston Martin DB9 instead?  BRG would be fine....;)

Good god man, what is your issue? Try getting off that stick you've so delicately placed up your backside and try going out and having some fun for a change, like Stardock has done here. Although, "fun" seems to be a concept to which is completely foreign to you.

I worked with lawyers at the District Attorney's office for 6 months, and you don't sound much like a lawyer at all. I certainly wouldn't hire you to represent me with good confidence.

"Own the car....still paying for the petrol"...;)

Newest car I ever had was 10 years old in '97 ...when I got it.  It's still hanging in there.....

Now look....if asking for a DB9 in BRG is just too much.....any colour will be just fine....I'll cope....;)
