I think they’re punishing us for having some control over our GAS.

tbh it wouldn’t take much for me to shell out next time, just bring in resizing you bastards!

Those bastards!

By which time my enthusiasm for it will be gone.

Maybe they’re playing a long game of moving us over to a subscription service. If so, I’d have to admit they’re doing a good job of it.

IK have played the same game with Total Studio Max, really punishing people who bought the previous version and introducing a thoroughly uncompetitive upgrade price on intro.

I don’t want to buy Komplete 13 UCE because it lacks Piano Colors and I don’t want to buy Piano Colors because I’ll eventually get it in a future version of Komplete. Is this some kind of German Idealism trap?

K13 was released about 9 months ago, so not recently in this context as there's a new Komplete about every 2 years.
They release a lot of stuff in between releases otherwise they wouldn't have enough for a new version of Komplete.
People who really need the new stuff buy it on intro pricing and then sell it when they get it with their next Komplete update.

misunderstanding

I thought the complaint (not yours) was that Piano Colors wasn't released in the past in time for K13.

Why list things anyone can see in the NI’s site?

Hey Uncle E, when is the sonible sale ending at JRR? [EDIT : btw, on JRR the Sonible Studio Bundle is described as having Smart EQ 2 instead of 3, it could be misleading]

Also, anybody knows if the individual licenses are transferrable when buying a sonible bundle? Or should they be transferred as a whole?
