I did not complain that Fabien has to fix the details that he consider as bugs. Of course it is his decision if to ask money for fixing them or not asking money for fixing them. I remember that Fritz had updates to the engine that people could get for free after buying it when it was certainly about performance so it is not clear that Fabien is not going to give the customers update to fix what he described as "bugs".
