There's a saying: " You should never trust anyone who has deceived you...even once." So pack your cakewalk crap and throw it away. This is the world we live in. I didn't go for lifetime updates but have spent my dollars just the same. Love CW, too.
This is not a time for reassurances from Gibson or Cakewalk. In business there are no such thing as honor. Lifetime updates were never meant to go any further than they did. You all are good people but are not the moral compass for Gibson. I can't say I knew this would end this soon and the last minute money grab was as low as it gets.
Lesson learned: Lifetime updates wasn't too good to be true only too good to be honored.
