    Apparently Plugin Alliance posted this on some Facebook page:

    “As of today, Plugin Alliance entities are not part of the insolvency filing. Our operations in Langenfeld and the US remain outside these proceedings. For now – It’s business as usual. We continue to operate normally – product releases, support, installers and all other activities…

    If they sell all of that off could you see NI making any kind of comeback? What is NI without Kontakt?

    I agree with your sentiment. As anyone who uses this site can see, I am a huge Kontakt user and fan. I own the latest Komplete 15 Ultimate. I would estimate that 90% of my sample library purchases…Read More

    Germany’s insolvency process moves much more quickly than the US chapter 11 bankruptcy process. That means that the administrator needs to raise cash to pay of debts more quickly.

    Nothing from Izotope yet? Were they integrated into NI in a different way than Plugin Alliance, so that they might be impacted?

    The other one nobody has mentioned that I want to stay as far away from NI is Music Tribe, for the obvious reason that it is run by Uli Behringer.

    Also surprised nobody put Gibson on the no no list either.

    I also am against UAD because I don’t want to use iLok.
