why is World Creator 3 not available except for those who purchased on Black Friday, despite the main OTOY site promising:

all paid Octane subscription tiers starting at just 13.95 €/month (with Black Friday discount), including annual passes to: Greyscalegorilla Plus, LightStage MetaFace scans ...

I have to second this. I'm interested in trying Octane in Houdini again, but the only way to find out the status of current features is to trawl through the forums. Where can I go to find out the current status/workflow for instancing in Octane for Houdini?
