I have no problem paying for an upgrade from 5.5 to 6 version of technology. I think it's fair, for anything other than you'd be expected to pay for new major release. Also Shannon has a point in saying how many versions we got for a single purchase, albeit DMSI is still experimental so it's fair. Either way we got a great deal and we have to admit it.
With that being said I think it would be better to wait a little bit longer for a new DMSI release. A long gap between 3.2 and 3.3 gave a lot of weight to the new release I think and it shows. Of course I can only speak for myself and if the general consensus is that 3.3 doesn't work then quicker update would be more than warranted. However, if all is generally fine, I think Shannon should keep doing other subs (LTU and the family, Beast etc.) and the DMSI should take a back seat for a year. Shannon is gonna do DMSI in 6 generation anyway, adding another 5.5 version would only take time possibly better spend on other projects.
I agree with everything that you said. 3.3 has been released for about a month now... This is clearly premature to discuss about a future release. A minimum testing period should at least be 3 months old. No one knows yet what 3.3 is able to do.
I guess that Shannon is reading DMSI journals to gather feedback on how well the version does. Then he will need to do some R&D to put what is needed based on the feedback...
Well, there is one thing that I think Shannon should put in next version... It is instructions to enjoy the present moment... this is clearly needed by many current DMSI users ;-)
