Subscriber skins: the forgotten promise or put on the back burner.
Wednesday, January 14, 2009 by The__Goo | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Well, first I would like to ask is “What the deal is about the subscriptions.” , and I don't want to seem likely some stickler for facts, but I was under the impression that Stardock wanted to increase the price of the subscription and to justify this with us (the subscribers) was to offer 12 free skins per year. Now I'm not one to complain but it seems to me that someone either forgot or maybe they are just really behind. We haven't seen a subscriber skin since October. And on top of all that we have only received five (5) skins. (For those that don’t know) The first four (4) skins don’t count because those were offered way before. What's going on? Again, I’m not one to complain but while I’m here I might as well. And with that said, someone needs to talk to the guys doing the subscriber skins and tell them to make the things more useful. The Halloween skin is useful for a short time once per year (unless you are a really morbid person and kind of enjoy that stuff on a regular basis) and the Rockstar and Golf skins look lame if you don’t purchase the icon packages for them because there aren’t any icons packages to fit them (IMHO). That really only leaves two (2) decent skins to use. Anyways, I just wanted to get that off my chest and wonder if anyone else feels the same. Not wanting to piss anyone off, I'm just curious about this and no one has brought it up

I would hope they have been pushed to the back burner until the new site is up and running.

I was looking for that post yesterday but couldn't find it, thanks.
Not to complain but I think we were shorted a few.
Also, I do like the gloss series but doesn't the ability to recolor a skin in Windowblinds kind of make them redundant?

Yes, it would appear that based on what was said we are due a few WC Subscriber Skins,
I'm not all that sure though what would have wound up on my desktop with some very nice community project themes that have been released. It is always tuff for me to decide. 
Maybe they should just hold off on releasing subscriber skins or tell the skinners to take a vacation, yeah, that's it.

either way, I think someone has dropped the ball and i think someone ought to pick it back up. i am always a proponent of those that say what they mean and mean what they say.
