Do you realize that in this aspect we are talking about the same thing?.. It is precisely my point… I buy the “point five”, to get a cheaper major versions, I have even skipped 3 versions when a major is not of my interest… My point is, at least Steinberg should offer a discount for those who will not be able to use a grace period due a missing point five, but it seems that you still don’t understand despite having explained it more than 4 times…
Where do you get those eBay codes by the way?..
You probably think so because you did not realize that it is so important the opinion that Steinberg users have on Facebook as when Steinberg announced about the new type of license and the periodic activation per month with internet connection, Steinberg had to make some changes to this new idea due the 99% of users against this move, everything is documented and you can find it even in the statements of Steinberg, is that not a proof?.. The same could happen with the “decision” of not supporting VST2, many pro studios depend on VST2 sometimes it is necessary to open old projects because the customer needs it, it is a business thing. On the other hand, Universal Audio is a company that sells quite expensive products, and for development issues that you can ask yourself to UAD technical support, I doubt very much that they make VST3 versions of their products, there are many disadvantages in not supporting VST2 that can cause an economic fall to Steinberg due many users in disagreement, a big percent of the users do not appear on this forum, but on Facebook, which is another type of forum too, so I don’t think I’m so mistaken in this matter, Steinberg relies on users who upgrade year after year and this is indeed a really bad move… at least they scheduled 2 years to think about it.
