It is a bit messy imo,
There are many plugin developers out there who have accumulative deals for the bundles - Cable Guys, Eventide, etc. Even when on sale they do this
Not sure why this can’t happen for Absolute.
There should also be a grace period for products within Absolute, ie, if you buy Absolute now and Halion 7 is released next month, you should get Halion 7 upgrade.
It’s just too messy and constrained for the end-user. It makes Absolute a bit of a turn off. As it is, the user has to go to the trouble of trying to sell the second license to get some money back. It doesn’t make sense.
I created a thread here
Can we talk about how annoying Absolute is? - Steinberg Lounge - Steinberg Forums
