Default Lexicon PCM Native Reverb Bundle... discontinued?

I know updates have been few & far between... but can anyone confirm if the PCM Native Reverb bundle has been discontinued? (Website shows the bundle as still active, but individual plugins show as "discontinued").

I have Izotope/ Exponential alternatives (+ Altiverb, UAD & many others).... but I'd be sorry to lose PCM... can anyone confirm if PCM is vapourware?

Also, I'm always interested to hear what others are using / would recommend....

Lexicon is just slow. They have been referred to as Lexigone since sliced bread. Just not so long time ago they released 64bit update so they are current on Intel/Rosetta but it may take some time to get the Apple Silicon update.

iZotope says only exponential audio reverbs that make the cut are Symphony and Stratus.

Lexicon has stated they are updating the bundle for Apple Silicon compatibility. They are inexplicably slow and I would probably only buy it if running on Windows. No telling how long it will take for the AS version.

I don't know about the PCMs, but I have done a few reverb discoveries the last year or two that I really want to recommend:

Savant Audio Quantum Evolution
This is really something else. It's become my new main reverb. It doesn' do much but what it does - fantastically natural room simulation - it does SO well. Sounds so real, and works on everything.

Seventh Heaven

Tai Chi Lite

Relab Essentials

All quite affordable/cheap.
And, of course there is the Valhalla stuff, also very affordable and great.

Lexicon's repeated promises have come and gone for years. They've not lifted a finger in ages yet there's never a shortage of "we're working on it" updates, the only updates they can manage. I wouldn't buy anything of any kind from Lexicon, which is sad because they were once a great company. The chance of them rebounding appears to be zero.

Similarly, Exponential Audio is being abandoned by Izotope, another case where a great small company was taken over by a conglomerate and then put on a shelf. As mentioned above, only a couple of EA's plugins are making it thru the Native transition. The good news here is that those newer plugins (well, two of them) can cover the sound of the older ones (two of them), though you'd need to import/export settings between them or match parameters manually.

Most of those are my main verbs as well. Great products!

Haha -- that's the one I thought was missing from Ben's list. It's my most-used verb.

I'm sure it's great. It's also atmos and I'm sure a lot more feature rich than the ones in my list. My suggestions are all below $100usd. I guess my point is; nowadays you can get great stereo reverb plugins for not much money. It wasn't like that a few years ago.
