Nuendo 8 Crossgrade from Cubase

New CB user…excuse my ignorance… :fearful:

25+ year user of Pro Tools who has become snake-bitten and curious of the possibilities of a DAW with a better MIDI programming workflow (and whatever else I can be surprised by!)

But…I don’t quite understand the idea of the Nuendo crossgrade. Why must I give up my Cubase license and $400 to switch to a post-friendly DAW… What exactly is Steinberg gaining here by my giving up my Cubase license? I see more what I’m losing…but don’t really understand the concept of trading in my license for a similar/but different product… What is the precedent in the marketplace for a request like this?

ie. I’d be happy to pay the $400 crossgrade fee have access to a new program to see what it offers me…But have no desires to lose my Cubase license in the process…and I simply can’t see what they gain by requesting such a trade? Please enlighten me! :cowboy_hat_face:
