When users could no longer use the plugins they paid for with the free edition of the software, I knew is was not going to last. Also, with the initial "hoopla" of what Ignite Pro was going to became, never appeared, yeah.. that was the end, at least for me.
The ending of FXHome was sad, but a lot of software have met their demise over the decades. It just hurts a bit when it hits close to home.
