I'm going to vote yes, but for completely different reasons that have been discussed in another thread. Personally, I'd like to be able to buy more than two additional licenses. Those extra licenses, past the second two, could be full price and I'd still be happy.

I would have sworn that I read the initial license covers all current material, and that new material post-purchase was an add-on. Apparently not.

Not happy. No wonder sales are so low. This explains a lot.

Tomorrow I'm attending a con with Shadowrun sessions each slot for four days. This will be discussed.

Again, a subscription method would solve this problem by providing a continuous revenue stream over time.
Hi Shadowtool,

We mention multiple times on our web site that a license only includes the core rules for Shadowrun, and again when you purchase the product online. If you're unhappy with your purchase because of that, please email support@wolflair.com and we'll get you a full refund.

We've considered a subscription model in the past, and in fact we use something similar for Army Builder, our other product. For AB, we get a lot of feedback complaining about the subscription model. So this is just something that different people prefer different ways - some people like to buy up front and then have the product forever, others prefer to pay over time with a subscription.

Hope this helps!

^_^ Put me down for paying once and then getting all of the updates for free, please.

What, that's not an option? :-P
