In fact if an AACS key of a hardware player is revealed, and it's older than a few years and not something as big as a playstation or xbox, chances are you are out of luck. It's not actually cyberlink killing the software actively, but rather them just not inserting new AACS keys, and I doubt AACS keys of hardware players are revealed that often. I guess the backlash back then knocked them down a bit. It's like you buy your fancy new xbox one, then microsoft bricks it after 2 years forcing you to buy a new console.Īpparently all versions from 12 are not EoL and 11 retail buyers can upgrade to 12 apparently for free. It's stupid to have to repurchase the product every year or every few years and then disabling the older version.

It's like you buy your fancy new xbox one, then microsoft bricks it after 2 years forcing you to buy a new console. I mean seriously, who buys a disc player and then has to buy the software to use it?Īt least phyical bluray players has a 'permanent licence'. and they are free cause they are LIMITED.Įvery disc player I've ever purchased comes with it's own software that does this for free. Ive tried many of these free things this person is frantically trying to promote.for some reason. Give me a break! And we dont have to cross fingers, download addons, change settings, this that and the other to play a dump, basic bluray. Why would anyone go to all this hoop jumping work when we can just get PowerDVD on a steam sale for $10.
