From Komplete 15 to Komplete 26 in a single bound. And a very important change to the Natural Order Of Things - Komplete updates now look set to be annual affairs, not every two years. Which also means the famous Summer Of Sound discounts are very likely gone.
Maybe they move to Black Friday / XMAS for the half price deals? Or there's no half price deals at all any more?
One more change - it used to be one fixed upgrade price from earlier versions going back many years. Now it's tiered - the less current you are, the more you pay.
NI's financial position may have had some bearing on these changes, about which there has been no solid move for some time. I believe under German law there has to be some clarity in the coming months, but I'm very sketchy on the details.
