@fog. you seem kinda cranky this week! It's hard to complain about a freebie. No matter what they offer, short having someone create custom content every two months, somebody here is going to already have it. I'm not sure what the percentage of people here who already have groove3 memberships is, but unless it's the overwhelming majority, cakewalk has just given out a very practical and useful freebie. Everyone who owns this product can likely get some benefit. Of course there are the exceptions who somehow know absolutely everything there is to know about Sonar and other things covered on groove3, but I'm guessing those are exceptions. Even when the freebie is useless ( everyone does not use loops) it's still a freebie and will be hit or miss. It sounds like what you are asking for is an unreasonable expectation for a freebie...namely a commercially viable product that is exclusive , overlaps no functionality with cakewalk products or sounds in existence and all for free? I'm sure they get a discount purchasing the group license at groove3 but developers creating custom content, add-ons etc are not in any way cost effective. It is never a wise business model to give a damn about customer complaints about freebies. Nothing they do will ever be enough. What exactly do you want them to give you for free?
