I've been sticking with VP15 for now. I was getting the regular "Upgrade for $249" prompts. Last week for a few days, after cancelling that I got an "Upgrade for $199" offer - and I'm pretty sure it said until October 31st.
Whilst this might have suited me, my first thought was for those loyal supporters who'd upgraded early on, AND acted as beta testers for $249. I posted as such on this thread: https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/so-which-is-it-249-or-199--112598/#ca695406 but as it's closed, I guess nobody saw it.
This is a despicable way to treat early adopters - you'd have thought they'd have learned their lesson after the ball-up when Magix first took over - offering implied great deals for existing users only to offer upgrades at prices greater than new product/licences.
And now, with 31st Oct still two weeks away, the offer is miraculously withdrawn.
Much as I love Vegas, I feel like I'm watching a wife degenerate into an alcoholic who does nothing but bad mouth me in public and beat me in private.
