Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan status update on compatibility

Jesus…

First of all, testing should have started with the developer betas, MONTHS AGO – those are issued by Apple exactly for that purpose, and other developers DO get on with the program.

Steinberg waited for the bloody official release (not even the GM, which was available weeks earlier) to begin testing…

And the “official announcement” we all waited for 3 weeks was just to tell us that “we need more time” – not only we haven’t got a Cubase point update, but not even a roadmap.

And before I hear the BS about waiting to upgrade etc, not everybody who uses Cubase uses it in a dedicated machine just for it that they can keep with an old OS version, and we sometimes need to upgrade to the latest OS to solve other issues and get to use some new feature that’s important to us (including security fixes).

Besides, it’s not Steinberg’s role to tell us when to update our OS. Their role is to make sure the programs we paid for are usable in new versions. Other software houses don’t seem to have that much of a problem with it.
