This is just a observation of the number of updates pr year;
2017 - 5
2016 - 6
2015 -10 (the year of the upgrade plan)
2014 - 8
2013 -10

You think this is bad, you should see the update situation for the S6 control surface. Avid is obviously desperately pinching pennies and you only need to look at their stock performance to understand why. Of course, if they don't start taking their customers and products seriously there won't BE any stock to worry about - again.

You think this is bad? I don't. Consider; the move from 32 bit(PT10) to 64 bit(PT11) was a complete rewrite of everything. And at least they are trying to solve issues(imagine if 12 was released and followed up by only 1 or 2 bug-fixes.........) Just my 2 cents

That's what they claimed, yet many of the same bugs from the 32-bit version got carried over to the new 64-bit version. If it was a complete rewrite, the chances of that happening are virtually zero. It sounds more like a code conversion.

Added Note:
That's one of the reasons why so many users have complained on the famous 216-page-long Control|24/Pro Control thread, which has had more than 926,000 views, and 2,153 replies from users. They all agree that if the code for the app can be easily converted - then the drivers for Control|24 & Pro Control can be easily converted too. In other words - Forced Obsolescence.

Yeah, I've got to agree. Also, the releases they've had actually have not done much to fix bugs. They only recently started really acknowledging the horrendous -9173 errors and those started with the very first 64-bit version, PT 11, years ago. I want to be clear that I'm not blaming the people at Avid that actually do the work - those that I've dealt with are great. It's the abominable management level people like Chris Gahagan who was finally fired (who amazingly was hired by Symbotic - what could they possibly have been thinking??) and Louis Hernandez who famously defended him forever who are driving the company into the ground through blatant incompetence.
