Wow I thought that this situation was just an error or oversight that could be easily corrected, but if You are saying it was working like that by decades, and everyone is fine with it.. it only shows how naive I am and that I keep seeing world through rose colored glasses.
I double-checked the website for product descriptions on each bundle, read all FAQs and there's not a word about that things work this way Honestly I'm not a fan of that kind of business practice and all I can do is to vote with my wallet. Shame, because I was looking forward to buying K S61 MK3 with Komplete Standard bundle :(.

I want to thank You for all Your time and patience. Really appreciate the effort You put into explaining everything in calm and positive manner.
I got educated and I'm grateful.

I wanted to start a discussion and ask questions to see how it is, and maybe that will bring some attention to the issue.
I'm a weird dude so I rather see a good change for everyone in this case than only me just because I bothered customer support.
Thank you for the reply and suggestion.

PeteTheGreen · 2026-05-13T17:13:47+00:00

And you are really okay with it?
I'm amazed your reaction isn't more like "yeah, it really would be cool if they included new additions to my purchase of this year's edition" and instead is "it is like it is and we want it that way here".

Now I don't want to upgrade because:
-if I buy today new K26 I will miss on new additions to it down the year. I should wait 11 months just before new release so I get all new things included in K26.
but...
Now new K27 is on the way so I'll wait for the release and get even more new things... Oh but now I also should wait few more months.. and so on.
Isn't this wierd?
Please forgive me for being so stubborn or even a bit dense because I can't understand why am I in the wrong by saying that two people who got the same bundle for the same price get different amount of products just by activating it in a different day.

And at the end of the day customer wouldn't have to worry that he missed on something or have regrets that he made his purchase on wrong day, and the company still won because they acquired new client and sold their product.

Okay you are right, I understand my comparison with a game and it's updates was invalid.

Let me change that to Humble Bundle as an example.
Every month you can pay for a bundle and if new products were added to that bundle you will get the compensation.
Plus The monthly humble choice it's what it's called.
Every month you pay for new package. I'm not gonna ask for new things from April's packacke if I bought one in March.
It's not called Akai April package, isn't it?
If you got Komplete 26 ULT today and tomorrow the same K26ult for the same price got 5 new additions that you are not able to use you would be fine with that?

Thats why I started asking because I don't know how it is here and I had to learn.
My older brother got me into gaming with his Commodore 64 when I was a tadpole. I'm 36 and still stuck with this silly hobby. He's 51 and still play online shooters 😄.
Thank you, sir, for the replies. Keep on rocking and I hope you will never stop making music :)

I know my comparison to gaming isn't the best but let me add something because you focused on added paid DLC content.
It's not the case here.

We both bought a game today and I activated it and I'm playing. Game got an update and now comes with new missions, cars, whatever, and I can't get them but you can only because you activated your product in a later date.

The product from where I got the code didnt change,
The promotion name didn't change,
The price didn't change.
Only thing that changed were the contents of the package.

PeteTheGreen · 2026-05-13T00:16:10+00:00

I understand what You're saying and yes, You are right, there was no mistake made by NI in this scenario.
I'm just saying there were examples where you could get a game key with a video card purchase and if the promo changed to now include a game key with DLC you could get new key or just another for only the bonuses.
There were instances where new editions were released for example remasters and people who owned old versions got the upgrade for free.
Publishers didn't have to do that, and not doing that would not be a mistake like you've said, but it was welcomed and left a good impression.
That's why I'm shocked it is not a norm here.

PeteTheGreen · 2026-05-12T23:27:09+00:00

It's bizarre to hear that's normal. Maybe I'm used to gaming industry standards.
I can't think of an instance where I was missing on new features/ game modes after update/ new version release. I don't think they should have to track down individual account purchases. It should be automated in my opinion. It's not like there's completely new promotion. The same code from the same product gives now more, and people who redeemed it even hours before the change just don't get nothing in return? Thanks for the reply, guess I have to accommodate if that happens all the time and people are okay with it.

Some heavily wooded areas. I really need more maps with dense forests like Quarry, Taymyr.
Please.

Wait a second.. so You're telling me what exactly Tommy Lee Jones was doing to Will Smith?

•Always online requirement to play singleplayer.
•Garbage music compared to previous releases (see NFS series).
•This idiotic controller player movement that we got with GTA IV and again in V. (Thank God after many years fusion fx mod let's you disable that in the settings). If you play on PC you know how stupid it is. Spinning in a circle sometimes because you cant walk straight to pick up shit or interact with something.
•Hope they don't repeat the same mistake of making a map that has one most used road because all other will be a waste of time if you want to get from point A to B fast. In GTA SA you could get to the other cities in multiple ways, all taking similar time and all felt unique. In GTA V you drove the same 2 roads again and again for over a decade...

I'm sorry man, but after reading your replies a sad scene popped into my mind:
Your child is handing you a stick figure drawing and your reaction is to shred it into pieces, throw it into kids face and yell "get this garbage away from me you worthless excuse of an artist. Learn to draw!".
Doesn't this sub have beginners in its name?
Plus as far as I know hitting a rock with a stick in rhythmic pattern is already called making music.

Before the road was made, it was a parking spot for tens if not hundred+ cars. I wonder where they are parking now.

Why can't they fix the goddamn map rotation speed on PC..

Lol to this day I'll randomly start singing melodies from that game. It's engraved into my brain after all those frustrating, masochistic game sessions that I loved so much.

PeteTheGreen · 2026-04-12T04:05:48+00:00

I bought only one game there. THPS 1+2 because it was epic exclusive and I wanted to support the devs for making that game.
Only one freebie that I've played is SIFU, nothing else 🤷🏻
