Evaluating Adobe Substance 3D Collection for purchase

Hello. I am evaluating the pruchase of the Adobe Substance 3D Collection. For that reason, I've been installing its 5 apps... wait, well, no, 4 apps. I just found out that even though Adobe Substance 3D Modeler is shown as part of the collection it is not, quite; not yet at least. For now Adobe Substance 3D Collection is an optional install as it is stil in beta. Where is this disclosed? Somewhere in 3pt. type perhaps? 

 

The marketing of this collection should be transparent; show the "Md" app as part of the 3D set when it is available as a fully-released app, not before (just so it looks like we are getting a whole lot for $50/month).

 

The susbscription fee is for 4 apps plus assets. For Beta testing an app, Adobe should be offereing a discount, or a free T-shirt, or a mug, or a "thank you!" check, AND making it VERY clear that this is a beta app.

 

Thank you.

Substance Modeller is available in two versions. There is the stable release version, which is included in the Substance 3D Collection, and the separate public beta downoadable from the beta section of the CC app. The beta version can be installed alongside the release version. The beta version is not recommended for production and there is no indication how long the public beta programme will remain open, it has been closed previously.

So no, the release version included in the 3D collection is not there for beta testing and feedback.
