    I don’t know how they would pull that off timeline-wise with a yearly revision, and they are clearly changing things (hence the $100 reduction in upgrade pricing at launch)

    Because they realize that the changes and uncertainty slow consumers from buying. It’s much harder to get people to buy during the insolvency and now, after the acquisition, there’s still going to be hesitation, so many retail brands will use extra incentives and inMusic has a long history of using major incentives and doing major deep discounting to the point where it would be no surprise to see better discounts become a regular thing. I wasn’t impressed by the marketing execution of the renaming. However, I think it makes sense and may result in more buyers doing annual updates. But the reliability of those seasonal sales — especially the Summer of Sound– is the next best thing to a subscription for a software developer. My money is on inMusic keeping it going.

    FTR, on CF when Waves announced that they were going subscription only, I at first posted that I give them one month before they add back a perpetual license option and later revised my guess to 2 or 3 months. Of course, they changed course in days. But I was literally trolled — mocked by a forum member (one of the the usual suspects) as a know nothing marketing guy. I’m not as confident in this case, but I would give it an 75% probability of happening.
