Yes I thought a lot of users saw R11 as an 'exit tax' .
But then I've been seeing people saying the exact same thing about 12, now that it's high res and combinator 2 they can buy just one last version and move on.
I wonder what features R13 will bring that make it a "this is my absolute final Reason purchase ever"?

Well, that might end badly for you. So far I haven't seen any evidence that would make me assume he has - quite to the contrary I'd say.

f**king spam!
"Did you forget? We're giving you 40% off Maia Matrix Edition!"
Nope, you xxxxx, I did not forget, I just have zero interest in it. When I subscribed to your newsletter because I am/was using your DAW, I had no idea you'd end up stooping so low.

Yes, I guess so... quite sad nonetheless. I certainly did not at all mind receiving the occassional offer, regardless of whether it concearned me or not. But this kind of agressive spam (where they are obviously checking their database on whether a customer already took part in an ongoing sale - they sent me the original offer three days ago) is way too much for me. That's just so tacky and pathetic.

Antic, I'm not sure any of us know for sure, but I didn't buy Suite, even though I had none of the REs which would have made it a killer deal.antic604 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 3:10 pmI don't think that's accurate.festeringheap wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 2:59 pm From what I can gather, many Reason users except the hardcore fans bypassed R11, as it was a very lightweight offering. (Although it's likely that RS may have snagged many older users who gave up on Reason in the past and thought that the RRP was pretty cool. [whether or not that will translate into them buying 12, 13 etc is another story])
So, there may have been many bypassers of R11 who bought the R11/free R12 offering in May of this year. Leaving only those few perpetual hardcore fans to buy in September. Which included a massive price increase on a flimsy unstable lightweight version. I think it's been a slow uptake for those users, imo, and likely even the majority of the new RRP owners from last year aren't buying.
11 Suite when it was released was selling like hot cakes.
There was no 'complete the bundle' for anyone who had a bunch of the included REs, so RS didn't snag all those people.
In addition, for a big chunk of 2021, until Reason 12 was announced (and even afterwards) Reason Suite was still heavily discounted at Jrr, Audiodeluxe etc. so looks like they had a ton of copies still for sale that they were trying to move.
With a very cheap (or free) copy of Reason 11 Lite, you could access all your REs.antic604 wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 3:10 pm But even more importantly, lots of people bought 11 to access Reason Rack Plugin to either move to different DAW and take their favourite REs with them, or - while already being in other DAW for years - to access their native & 3rd party REs that were stuck in Reason they were no longer using...
If you installed Reason Lite 11.2 instead of Reason Lite 11.3 , you received a ton of Reason devices to use. R11.3 Lite update removed a shit-ton of stuff.
Yes, I do agree that the Suite deal contributed to their bottom line for sure.
Yes, it could be.
I wonder how many people are still on earlier versions though? Their lastest SDK for RE development which was released a week or so ago, is for those REs to be used in Reason 10 and higher. You'd think that if R11 was so successful, the SDK would be for R11 and up. Looks like there is money to be made still from users on Reason 10.

Hmmm.. so out of 325+ votes in a Reason-centric forum, there are twice as many R11 users than there are R10 users?antic604 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 4:52 pmhttps://www.reddit.com/r/reasoners/comm ... _youre_on/festeringheap wrote: ↑Tue Nov 09, 2021 4:35 pm I wonder how many people are still on earlier versions though?

Yes, it does look like there are likely many Reason 10 users out there still.
So money is to be made on REs through them. Still wonder why RS wouldn't have the latest SDK pump out R11 REs, forcing a buy to R11 (or rather 12) when an irresistible RE comes out.

A new beta was published earlier today (after 2.5 weeks...) so we'll see.
The stable release is as broken as ever.
