Waves has announced the introduction of Waves Creative Access - all Waves plugins are now available exclusively as subscriptions, with all updates included and new plugins added at no extra cost. As of March 26, 2023, Waves Creative Access subscriptions are the only way to get Waves plugins. If you purchased Waves plugins previously, you continue to own them (at the latest version you had prior to the launch of Waves Creative Access).
Waves has also launched StudioVerse, an "AI-powered community for plugin chains that will help you unlock the power of all your Waves plugins".
Here's what they say:
