Its perplexing, really. It does seem like Avid are hell bent on destroying themselves. They ask for ideas for features, ignore the lot, bundle a shop into the program and then try to force people to pay an annual sub to stop their license being permanently frozen. Quite bizarre. Beware audio companies on the stock exchange...

I see it this way...
How many commercial music and post studios will open in the next ten years
without PT HD?
How many universities, that process kids in and out like cars on an assembly line, will stop partnering with Avid and using and teaching PT HD to penny pinching students who will in turn most likely buy the perceived more affordable Vanilla subscription at least once?
If Avid only produced one feature per new release then for the foreseeable future PT will still sale,
as long as it is still supported, because NOTHING has replaced it.
Avid takes solace in that fact, which is why they can basically ignore Ideal Scale and sell support subscriptions instead of a DAW loaded with new features.
