Devil's advocate: the marketing/communication strategies of small companies Vs. large corporations are vastly different. As I mentioned in a different thread, Korg is also generally silent, as in: not-a-peep, until they have something to release and I seem to understand very few (if any) here are complaining.
That said, companies that are trying to keep a subscription model up and alive, have some sort of a roadmap, or one or more public events throughout the year where they showcase what's coming next (in the case of Netflix, the "what's coming next" is pretty much all the time but that's a different story).
And this is where Roland IMHO is doing a terrible job: their answer to "Why should I stay subscribed?" sounds an awful lot like "Because new stuff is coming; trust us bros" over and over*, to the point that many in this thread, myself included, have decided to just get the lifetime keys they REALLY want and then peace out.
tl;dr Some more transparency would do a lot of good, and just to be clear, I'm not putting any blame on Brian or Jon.
Just my 2 cents, I'm mostly staying away from this thread while I decide IF I want to pay for another year of P4L when it runs out next July.
