Shouldn't this be under press releases?

Seems a little smarmy to make semi-annual and monthly members wait an extra month. By that logic I think that at least the semi-annuals should only have to wait two weeks.

I agree. I still don't understand the logic behind them going to a subscripton-based service. But on top of that, they screw monthly members, by charging them more per month and now having them waste a month of their subscription to wait for new content? Very shady.

I guess there's only so much newbie to slightly intermediate courses they can put out before people start dropping membership due to no real high level production oriented courses like other online schools are offering. I've stopped recommended them to newbies getting into 3D.
