This is some not great news. I’ve been using NI (as well as izotope & plugin alliance) stuff for a very long time, and have hardware from them too. I imagine there are a lot of small sound design studios selling kontakt instruments who are a bit scared for the future now.
I really hope they’re able to find a good solution for creators with the administrators.

This exact reason is why I’ve avoided Native Instruments / Kontact like the plague
