Yeah parallels does this too. I feel mixed about it. Native Instruments and MOTU tend to make their software compatible for many years after you purchase them, which I appreciate. But it does take development time to make them compatible with new OS versions. Paying for a $40 upgrade every year seems excessive, but I'd prefer it to a monthly subscription model like Adobe and Microsoft have done.

Propellerheads is abandoning Reason 8 users. Apparently, whatever they did in version 8 is heavily tied to the Apple file system, and the forced upgrade in High Sierra will break their files.

So, I get a choice - keep Reason or upgrade to HS. I kinda feel screwed over by all parties.
