Seeing all of them as 1 is a quite narrow minded dont you say? Virtual is virtual, its a computer program and maintenance is something can be dictated by the 3rd parties like operating system creators ect. and its understandable why some programs has end of life.That's the beauty of it. We can go back and completely redo projects that were limited at the time by inexperience and hardware limitations.
I revisit old projects also. I use stems and MIDI files and use them in a modern DAW on a modern PC, with hard drive space, processing speeds, and RAM that was science fiction 20 years ago
In 2004 if you said I would have multiple TBs of solid state drives, 32GBs of ram and the processing power of an I9, I would not have believed youYou don't use virtual instruments to makes music? Hardware synth, piano, guitar, VSTs.. it all makes music. They all require a little maintenance if you want to use them for years. It's just that the maintenance to do so for virtual gear is a bit different.
Computer and program for computer's operating system is not the same as pure instrument. There is no sense in even making a comparison like that.
Now you compare real instrument to a vst instrument. If you buy a real instrument and its warranty ends, to maintain it you dont ask creator to change capacitors or other stuff right for free? you do it yourself or ask some one else for a payment to do it? So in this case same should applied to a software program, If there is something wrong you can always hire a programer if you cant maintain the thing right?
