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.

I said talk me out of it, not murder me!

So I'm interested in either: Ethera Gold 2.5 or Ethera Gold Prometheus. Talk me out of it.

I think I might have to skip since I hopped on the Cubase train like some others on this forum. Choo choo. (Plus I never kinda clicked with Waveform)

Looks like you can get Neold plugins for 9.99 and that's about it. Doesn't work with Neold plugins. Nice voucher in theory, worth nothing in the end. edit2: bx_subsynth is the only $9.99 plugin with this.

Wasn't this $19 a week ago?

They should have enough time to add a handful of the most often asked features for Kontakt 8 then?

Party pooper.

They're running out of available version numbers before 8.0

I wouldn't have minded a price increase with Affinity if the software saw substantial improvements, but difference between v1 and v2 didn't seem to bring anything monumental. Or if it did, they've done a really **** job advertising it. That's why I've yet to upgrade despite buying v1 software instantly (both PC/ipad) they got released.

Do note that if you upgrade to v3, you'll lose v1 licence and can't use it anymore. At least v2 destroyed my old licence, which sucked.

I understood that if you buy v3 (or v2), you can use that forever. But if you don't pay for the update plan, you won't get any of the extra 3.x patches. If you pay for the update plan, you'll get version updates (so 3.3 etc). If you stop the update plan, then you'll revert back to base v3. I personally wouldn't mind paying for the update plan if it meant that you'd get to keep the updates but it's absurd you don't. It's a shame though. I've used Clip professionally for a long time and the brush engine is still my favorite with a pen display. While I'm on v2, even v1 works really well for what I do so it's not the end of the world as those work. With v1 you were able to use the program on two computers easily, but with v2 it became a pain in the ***** even though the licence allows it. That's why I'm not that eager to go v3 since its licence agreement hasn't been put out yet (from what I gather) and I'm afraid they'll dick customers around even more.

Come to think of it. Clip Studio Paint got better with updates etc. once they dropped Smithmicro and the Manga Studio branding. That bliss ended a bit more than a year ago as they're now pushing subs. Granted, they also sell a perpetual licence but one which doesn't see any upgrades if you don't pay a monthly 'update plan' fee.

You were supposed to be one of the more reasonable ones on this forum and not the one pushing pedal to the metal.
