From technology to politics to video games; these are the random thoughts of a geek with too much time on his hands

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.

Jafo,

I could have sworn Brad said he mailed you one last week. You didn't get it yet?

Must be stuck at customs. Or, maybe a Kangaroo drove off with it.

Do I at least get to take it for a drive??? I figure I own at least a couple of screws or a clamp or something. Wait, I got it...I bought the air for the tires!! (Only 2 tires though, air's getting expensive.. and only on Zoomba's car) If I can't drive it...I'm taking my air back!

What's this?! You all got the EXACT same color! The company's middle name is 'CUSTOMIZATION'. Get Stardock Design on those suckers, ASAP!
