They sold out to Yamaha for 30 pieces of silver.

They moved on, after selling their company to Yamaha.
I was a very vocal critic of C13 last November, but the .021 release solved all the bugs from which I was suffering and is probably the most stable Cubase I’ve ever used. But it’s all for naught - I use 12 simply because I’ve had enough of re-learning the software every year because the devs can’t leave the interface alone, moving functions around, removing this, adding that, renaming the other. Too much for me. (I’m talking about existing features, here, not new. I’m all for new features.)
[edit]
Just remembered, even the staff can’t keep up - someone was asking about quantizing, was told (by a staffer) to use iterative quantize, but he had to come back to say that it was now called soft quantize. What else has been renamed, but you think it’s been removed? Who knows.
