They are having a 'special' discount of $150 or so and a discount on a very beginners training book. There are really no strong incentives for the supscription program except for the discount.
I think Graphisoft has moved to subscription to help even out their financial revenue and the time table and value seem arbitrary. The subscription / ugrade price of $795 is way over priced. I could see $495 which is what it cost last year.
What do you guys think?

I have learned the hard way to not upgrade for the first year of any new release. Subscription thus is futile. I also believe that the software’s advance will slow and much effort will be spent on multidisciplinary integration, code rewriting etc.
After what happened with 8 and then the lack of 3rd party availability on 9 it is a huge waste of time and $$ jumping in on new releases.

I also agree with Albert. The whole subscription model for AC was based on a 12 month upgrade cycle or so I was told. That part still has to be proved out. Until Graphisoft can produce consistent (read 2 or 3) consecutive yearly upgrades I think it is premature to ask for money on a yearly basis.
