ummm...you guys do know what the advanced lighting is, right?

The advanced lighting doesn't mean you don't get lighting, It means you get the lighting from TGEA...TGEA still had good lighting and shadows, for $250 you more-or-less get what you got in TGEA except source.

It's not that much different from the 3DGS license that you keep referring to. 3DGS doesn't have source either, and for $800 you really only get the ability to change the popup window along with some other very small features that don't deserve the $600 difference.

You talk about how bad the license is, well...just be happy you're getting it for under 100k.
