I see nothing to complain about for customers of Deep Junior. They knew the price and they bought it. Even in the extreme case that chessbase decide in the future that Deep Junior is a free program they have nothing to complain about. They have a reason to complain only if chessbase promised something and does not keep the promise. People who complain about good things that other people get legally are simply bad people. Uri
