Chapter III. Update related aspects
Many users want continue use VG and talking as a small kids "you ***** us to new version, but we want stay on VG, you engaged only in rebranding for more money". Many people just don't know what it is in reality - maintain and support the products on old versions include server-side hardware and software, client databases, client-side software, websites, transactions, with time limits, without stopping the production else just out of business, etc. In most cases enhance of old system with count of all aspects is a big inadequate spend, and in some cases it's just impossible at all. Upgrade is much resonable than improvement of old system. For example - can you comfortable use modern apps on old PC park? ;) Yes, you can (if you have a big knowledge and very strong character). Yesss, you did it, all working well on old PCs, you save at $5K without purchase new hardware, well done, congratulations )) And a now calculate your spends ;) A TONS of your time and effort - oh mazafaka, you calculate once again and understand that you lost at $10K. No, it's not all, be more honest, calculate all, yes-yes, how much you don't get due to busy with old system? Wooow, you really extreme guy if you can so easy lost at $20K just for experiments with old versions ))))) The members who talks "I won't update" looks as naive people which are very far from the reality.
It is clear what about asked those who said to Totem "we want use VG", "remove the fucking pop-up about update" and so on. They are lazy to understand or just don't want understand the real cost of such "experiments" with old versions on all levels of the system. The people like a small naive kids want continue use VG because it is not their problems HOW create and deliver, maintain and support the product on old versions and lost the money due to user's wishes. Impossible! It is not only client-side software, it is the SYSTEM and one improper element will cause a big troubles for other components, and as result the company will have the ***** in their heads every day.
Some members thinking "I long paided customer, they must give me the ability to use VG because I don't like new iS". No, they don't must support the old version if provide new software, it is clear even without reading end-user agreement. The customers have a rights to get the client software without a bugs, with clear appearance, and have moral rights to asking features like skins in new builds because it was in previous versions. But nobody have the rights to get the support of old version or another build of old version. Until the company in business, their clients should use provided by company client-side software, the last official version, from signed by company installation distributive, and should follow the instruction (if don't know how correctly install new version manually to avoid default behavior during each update). If the member use old version, the company can't guarantee the access to purchased production. If the member use already expired version after information about this expiration, the company can't guarantee nothing at all, include access to the member's account.
Chapter IV. Epilogue
Did you know, how long Totem enhance the website on old engine, and how long was improved their software also? It was VERY long and many times. But a now it is impossible! Easy to understand that rebranding and new client-side software are the parts of bigger upgrade, i.e. transition process. Therefore just update to iStripper and wait. Can Totem stay alive on old system? No. Can you download and play purchased shows? Yes. Have you access to all demos? Yes. Working software fine and the features in progress also? Yes. Resolve support your requests? Yes (thank you Manue and Celine for fast response and actions, I have new question about the logging of my transactions in 2012-2016 hehehe). Acceptable the prices? Yes, because given the constant discount for all UHD shows (thank you Rex once again, it was risky but right decision, I'll still buy). Want Totem lost you? No. Even if you just user and not paid - anyway you are the target of marketing as everywhere in modern world. So be patient and stop asking about VG. The time impossible to freeze, no way back! Even if UI will stay without skins very long - iStripper already better than VG in desktop mode, and usable in full screen also. Needed a time for the fixes, implementing features and new nice improvements. Forget the old, use new, be progressive! (hard rock, end of promo clip hahaha).
