SideFX never discount Indie, it's already a huge giveaway. Houdini Core is half price (till May I believe) for those turning over $100k plus and Houdini FX is priced for FX houses so that's unlikely to see a discount unless and I think this is more likely in the long run, FX and Core get unified into a single product with a similar price point to C4D. The reason I believe there's a chance that Core and FX will be merged into one is that Indie is selling very well for SideFX (the H16 push is likely to expand this further still) and there's a gargantuan scale price jump from Indie to FX. If you've been using Indie for any length of time you soon realise that Core will be too limiting even though it's far more favourable priced.
