If you think about it from the customers point of view - the last 4!!!! upgrades (3 to 4, 4 to 5, 5 to Gold, Gold to 6) have seen very little improvement in the playing strength. It seems a little strange that they think that many people will pay for an engine upgrade, that by recent history has improved very little, let alone one they thought they were buying in the first place!
