I thought you were joking.  That's a fake 50% off as it's never been anything else.

Not true, that is the regular price for the X2 Producer to X3 Producer upgrade. The link is a Studio to Producer uprade. It is possible to get their mailings, it might take some persistence. IIRC, there have been some campaigns on Facebook or other social sites but I have been receiving their e-mail for years so I have not bothered to check them out.

FWIW we use a very very large and popular third party service to handle our email newsletters there can be many factors that can cause you to not receive it:
 
1] The simplest solution, you're simply just not signed up. You can subscribe/unsubscribe on our website here.
 
2] Your ISP/email provider bounced an email and your address was marked as non-deliverable. As soon as this happens your email address is suppressed and you'll stop getting new emails from us. This is to protect our sender score so we don't end up looking like a spammer in the eyes of the ISP. If we send an email after the ISP/email provider said 'this is a bogus email address, do not email me' it can have a negative impact on our sender score and the ISP is very likely to block all emails from us to their users. 
 
3] You moved one of our emails to a 'spam' or 'junk' folder. Some email providers will treat this like a hard bounce/spam complaint back to the sender. If this happens your email address is suppressed and you won't get future mailings. 
 
4] You never, never open our emails. If we send you lots of emails and you never open them we stop sending them to you as frequently. Its not that we don't like you, we're just not sure if you're still there. When this happens we don't wipe or suppress your address we just leave it in a special area and you might get an email from us every other month or so instead of weekly.
 
Anyway - if you're sure you signed up and still not getting emails from us feel free to drop a line to customer service and they can sync up with our marketing folks to find out what is going on.

5) Or you browse emails as text, or don't view images in emails, or never click on links. That's viewed the same as 'never open our emails' (the only way Cake are gonna know via the very popular email service).
 
For me the only way for me to get the newsletter was to get cake to manually add me, personally I would just prefer them to be a link to a blog post.... Anyways...

Oh, come on.  I've signed up multiple times with three completely different email addresses (hotmail, a university address, and my local ISP) and have never received a peep.
 
And I'm far from being the only one.
 
And I check my email several times a day.  Sheesh...

Yeah, is there any reason the Newsletter hasn't simply been posted on the site and linked to in the forum in the past? I don't really read it often but it never seemed to me like there was anything that required the recipient to be a customer. Just news about deals, tips and general happenstances.

They did it once: http://forum.cakewalk.com...spx?m=2949908&fp=1

There's no reason not to link the forums with customer accounts either if that was important enough for some reason.

You mean link our STORE accounts with personal/payment info to the forum? Yeah... no thanks. It's a security risk.
