In this episode, we explore the possibility of Blackmagic introducing paid upgrades for Resolve Studio. Would that be a betrayal of everything Resolve has stood for… or just the next logical step for sustainable development?

We dig into the pros, the cons, the community expectations, and what we’d be willing to pay for. Plus: how this compares to some of the competition.
