Pendraz

Stopped buying since 2021, haven't regretted it since, even less now after seeing how they even stopped trying with the ME, what a way to reward their loyal fan base. Tried the demo every year, never enough on offer to justify its purchase. I would be shocked if 2025 were to be released in a playable state (I expect it to be such a bug mess I want nothing to do with it) and if it truly ended up being a real improvement. Only time will tell.

You are not alone: I will try the demo next year as well, but I am not very optimistic about actual nice features/big changes to AI or visuals being included. Or at least not what I consider big rather than minor tweaks if not downgrades. I used to just blindly get the new versions as they got released, but I got tired of wasting my money for the same exact product with a ME that would "fix" something and break another couple of things in the process.
