It would suck indeed, because they would likely go out of business if they ever attempted such a thing. And I think they know it. Reason isn't big enough to go sub only.. too much competition. I don't think we will see this happen.
But it's fun to have this conversation over and over and over again, isn't it?
This is where I think you're wrong. As JoeyLuck said earlier in this thread, every time Propellerhead/Reason Studios have changed something about the authorisation there has been an outcry but ultimately people have always stuck with Reason, in spite of these changes, because they love Reason. Nobody loves Pro Tools or Waves or Adobe really. They're just professional tools for getting a job done. If the vendor of these is going to break something that prevents people doing their work, there'll be an outcry. Reason is different. And it is for that exact reason, I think we will eventually get subs only, because the fan base is so loyal Reason Studios do know they eventually can get away with it and people won't leave. If they were such a decent and customer-centric company, they would never have invented Reason+ in the first place.
No decent company creates subscription models where a perpetual has worked just fine before, as per:

I really don't like having to come back to this cursed thread (typical billy garbage, inflammatory time wasting crap) and i really hate seeing this thread pop up again and again. I try to ignore it, cause there's just no point. But here we are. You, like many others, are here saying things that aren't true. We all love reason, for what it allows us to do. We know it well, it is like home. But to even pretend we won't jump ship if it goes sub only...
Omega lol
mfs come and post like once a week saying they are done with RS and finding another daw, and RS haven't even gone sub only!!!! (they won't). But mfs saying they will go sub only and people won't jump ship are: 1. Wrong 2. Giving RS the wrong ideas... Perhaps it is true to you. YOU would stay if they went sub only. I won't. I have other options like other daws and hardware. In the end, it is not about the software for me but about something that allows me to put my ideas out in the world, and while reason is great for that, it isn't the only thing that is capable and enjoyable at the same time.
I tried to stay away from this thread after you said my arguments are like putting salt in the wound, therefore I left this thread alone for a good while, feeling sorry for your pain, cause i understand it, i feel you, you are scared, i get it and I'm sorry my arguments make you feel bad. I don't want to cause pain to others.
I'll try to ignore this thread, just hope it dies out so i don't need to see it all the time.
