Kontakt sample developer Ocean Swift has made a statement about the NI situation.
The transition to a sales promotion is a bit odd, but I would cut small, indie developers like them some slack. These are often one to a few people operations where the same person writing website copy is also creating sample libraries:

Maybe they will split off their DJ Bra…Read More

I like a lot of their products but don’t buy often since they charge the same prices even when the products have aged. This is also a good example of why many of us are apprehensive about subscriptions.
