Where I can possibly be "screwed" is if V15 comes out before my WUP is up as I can see them saying V14 is obsolete for updates/ new products as of V15.
Grease me up now Lars?
Ditto (as well I gave the SSL collection).
For me as of today, this is not painful in the least.
I am WUP'd until 25, Jan 2025 so I have 22 months to decide if I freeze where I am of sub up.
Also, for me being sub'd is about the same price I paid annually for WUP.
I know, I know, if I stop the sub the plugs won't work.
It was offered to me (maybe ver 4 or 5). It's a monthly fee that entitle me to early releases (usually 2 days before general release) and 99.99% time if there is an upgrade fee (like v9) it's "free" to all Plugged-In members. I have also never paid for any new plugin they introduce (again "free"). 99% of every year the fee is less than the costs associated with upgrades and plugin costs.
TBH I'm not sure if they still offer it.

As Hunter S. Thompson (may or may not have) said: “The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.”
