This whole thing got to be 3rd party reseller only.

It would be absolutely insane if Waves would axe WUP for existing customers without giving them proper time to get their stuff in order.

Saw that as well. Still plugs and bundles being offered on perpetual licenses. Is it actually new or was it there before?

No subs model mentioned on the home page.

That’s kinda hilarious - subs have been there for 3 years and we all forgot.

That depends on whether they are crazy enought to go subscription only.

Is it now the time to buy all the Waves plugins you don't have yet for a low price
or..? . Well, I think I will buy them all before it's too late and also hope the prices for re-selling will drastically raise in future. I mean, if you won't get single plugins from Waves in future, you will only get them from resellers. Buy RBass for 30 today and resell for 300 in one or two years!

Sounds like a clever idea.
