I think the question IS in there, so clearly the subscription model is a consideration.
I think I do care about this DAW, hence the strong feedback. The alternative is to sit back like a good fanboy /patsy and simply let Steinberg figure things out by product sales alone. But it’s a tough market in the DAW business with lots of alternatives for customers to chose from and by then it would be too late. If you want Cubase to thrive and prosper in the long run, you need to take off the blinders once in a while and let them know what you think and what you want (or don’t want) from their product.
