Can you please explain the reasoning behind this 48-hour claim window? If people purchase the Fantasy Fanfare Mega Music Bundle and you then add new packs to the bundle, then why do you require those previous purchasers to claim those newly-bundled packs within 48 hours of release? Why make them visit your website every day in order to see if you released something new? Why not have the claim period an indefinite length of time (or a very long period, such as 10+ years)? This seems like a very bad idea and like it was designed to punish people who don't want to waste time visiting your website every day and reward people who do visit your website every day. I honestly do not understand the logic of this 48-hour claim window.

Hey Mindcrime, we don’t offer lifetime updates with this bundle. Providing unlimited future updates would essentially mean working indefinitely for free, which wouldn’t be fair for us considering the bundle price. However, we are planning to create a music access pass similar to the one we offer for our assets.
We do provide a 48-hour claim feature, and we only release new music or sound effects on Fridays, never on any other day of the week.
I fully understand and agree that providing unlimited future updates at the current bundle price wouldn't be fair to you. What I don't understand is why you're doing exactly that for anyone who is willing to check the website every day (or every Friday) to claim the new packs within 48 hours of release. It would be logical be offer it to everybody who purchased the bundle or to nobody, not to restrict those updates to people who are willing to check the website frequently. At any rate, I look forward to the access pass.
