https://audija.com/plugins Until May 1st I think.

Doesn't work.

Like I said. Neither do I.

Cool. But yeah. I'll skip posting their deals from now on just to be safe.

My understanding was that you needed to ask for crossgrades via customer support. Just so that I wasn't and am not tripping on Ikea's meatballs, I checked via friend who has never bought or used 8dio/SP stuff but is signed up for their newsletter. He too, like me, got an email from 8dio four days ago for a 50% off deal for Soundpaint version of Century Solo Flugel Horn. Voucher and all. He also received similar emails for Rhytmic Auras 1, Adastra Chamber/Solo Strings and apparently some others. So check your spam folder I guess if you're not receiving any emails?

Well, I do avoid sharing actually questionable/clearly personal deals. Since the sale was from 4 months ago, the email has been purged long time ago. Thus, since I can't verify, I'll remove it. (Yet. I still didn't own anything on 8dio related to the particular sale and still got the email for the Soundpaint deal.) If they send a deal to everyone on their mailing list, no matter on past purchases, I do feel like it's not exactly a secret. And Soundpaint comes up with a new 50% off deal every week (or feels like it).

I don't think they were crossgrade coupons since I never owned either of those items when I got an email about them being on sale. Edit: Just edited the codes out just in case. But Soundpaint has sent emails about various products which have utilized discount codes for them (even when those items were not owned on 8dio), so they definitely do do sales. There's even a new one from last week. I don't think I've ever paid a full price for Soundpaint instruments and haven't bought duplicates w/ Kontakt. On that note, there's even a code out there in the wild that makes the Fire Bundle cheaper than these codes ever did.

I think my first order was in ~2005-ish (imported some Japanese games) and I've personally never had a problem with them. I find them more trustworthy than some random key reseller site (which in turn might sell Windows cheaper). But I have not bought anything from them in two years though, so mileage may vary. Naturally, it's good to do your due diligence.

Kinda hoping there would be a quick reference/thread/wiki-page with a list of all the unnecessary services.

The last sentence is pretty vague since it could mean "until they run out of keys".

I know I'm stepping on some big toes but... Installed. Phew. Didn't think I'd survive that.

That's why I only trust hardware.

The original Thief games were amazing. This new version, not so much. They completely forgot what made the old ones good.

Consumer prices and values aside, I think this is also the biggest problem. In the YT comments the CS rep keeps touting how perpetual hasn't gone anywhere. Yet, they did remove perpetual licence for addons/plugins. They deserve all the manure being flung at them for that.

Some plugin stores still seem to still carry those.

So perpetual from the get-go is ~300-400 bucks. Studio One+ Hybrid - is around 200 and you get the Studio One Perpetual at the end of the sub. What's the point of buying perpetual if you can get it for cheaper with the sub? What am I missing? Edit: Ah, there it is.

Also at Sonible themselves when you log in and at Audio Plugin Deals (w/ code)

Any trick to get this for like five bucks if we switch to Swedish krona?

Might be a case of "which customer support rep you get" -roulette.

Jätte bra! Tack ska du ha!

I asked them about it and seems like you don't get any benefit from owning BioTek 2.
