In america they are counted as people, with all the rights and none of the responsibilites of people.
Turns out its as dumb of an idea as you can possibly think of.

Yes, nailed it. Other developers are now forced to clarify their positions on the matter. I think we can safely assume that smaller developers won't go subscription, though maybe I'm being naive here.goldenanalog wrote: ↑Tue Mar 28, 2023 9:52 pm Their move is two-sided: not only have they devalued virtually every WAVES perpetual license, they’ve also made wise audio software/plugin buyers wary of purchasing going forward; ie ‘Who’s next?

You're not. I cannot imagine even the big indie guys like Tokyo Dawn go subscription only. If there's subscription on the side without devaluating perpetuals it's all good. There's lot of great guys over there making software for us, mentioned TDR, ToneBoosters, Klevgrand and many more that I cannot imagine doing anything like Waves did ever. They care about their customers and now they see clearly what customers want. We should be allright as long as we stray away from corporations.Uncle E wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 4:20 amYes, nailed it.

Thanks for giving my thoughts an written expression.blue monk wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 11:40 am I'd say this much: When using Native Instruments, I can't buy Macs that are not at least 2 years old if I insist to always have all plugins by Native Instruments compatible. Now they also discontinued Absynth... NI is getting less and less attractive to use.
I guess if NI would go subscription only, that could become even worse. I have Komplete but not the current version. If they don't have everything updated for MacOS 13 this summer, I won't buy the upgrade, probably going to ditch them.
That story seems to repeat itself over and over again. How on earth is it possible that developers are that disconnected from their customer base?soundbylaura wrote: ↑Wed Mar 29, 2023 3:02 pm "Command-Z! COMMAND-Z!!!" - Waves
