Because apparently a price rise after 6 years is evil and we should be burned at the stake for it. $25, c'mon. I've spoken to numerous shops who have sunk $25K+ in to HPT, and they still keep paying for new models every year, I don't think it's even possible to spend $25K on EFILive.
Macca, compare the price of one license for GM SD tuning on EFILive vs HPT, $123 AUD for EFILive, $236 AUD for HPT, please explain how we are now so expensive with our $25 price rise? It's almost 50% cheaper.
By the way, VCM Suite AU charge $925 for the 'pro' package, same thing in the US is $649USD (about $639AUD). That is why we moved to be based on ONE currency for pricing worldwide, it removes that problem. The issue we ran in to was the massive drop in value of the US dollar.
That comment reminds me of a conversation I had with a guy from one of the aftermarket ECU companies, he said he's never figured out why professional race teams moan about pricing on an ECU setup that will last for years without costing a cent, is the life blood of the car, yet they will happily burn through thousands of dollars worth of tyres any time the car is run around the track.
