Good question.
Because the Zero Point Union style scripting was developed in tandem with ZPQ, which is a build method. They go hand in hand very well. ZPT is the recommended build method of those wanting “more,” but we always provide experimental build methods and stuff for those who want to explore it – which I assure you, is a lot of people.
And it’s not that ZPQ isn’t compatible with the latest scripting methods, since ZPU is a DIRECT evolution of the current Zero Point. When we went from the “Q” era to Zero Point, the scripting style was so different that it rendered them incompatible.
With Zero Point, we wanted to make sure this never happened again. We wanted people to be able to download their old customs and stack them if they really wanted to do so. In other words, we wanted to ensure backward compatibility. This increases the value of the product that you paid for, that it would endure the test of time.
And the thing is, it’s these subtle business practices that has fueled SubClub’s success. I cannot, with a clear conscience (and this is just me, I am not saying this HAS to be a standard in this industry or any other – just commenting on how we choose to do this) ask a person to pay for a custom that will become completely obsolete after a short period of time.
Obviously in the future, there may be a time when a new idea is so potent that we have to once again pivot, but for now, we wanted our customers to feel stable in their investments and provide them a “platform” in which they could build upon.
