There have been lots of threads on the forums about the new version of the software, changes in pricing, removal of VIP cards, etc. Change is inevitable and seldom immediately welcome, but the new pricing does make sense, both commercially for Totem and to the users in giving good value.
If you track back through the forums I think you'll see there has been some indignation about the changes but that in general the user base has altered from being suspicious or even *****, to one of acceptance and enjoyment of the new player software. Maybe yours, too, will change from 'bullshit' in time :-)
