That's rather baseless speculation. Nobody knows.

The person/people who wrote the code for DP Control is MOTU. It's up to them to update and maintain the app. Last update was 8 years ago. Why are they still listing (selling even) so many outdated apps on their website (their VI collection for instance)? :roll:
Mac Pro 5,1 12-core 2.4 GHz//40GB RAM//RX 560//macOS 10.13.6//SSDs//MOTU 896//Keylab 88//Faderport 8
Pro Tools 2018.7//LPX 10.4.1//DP 9.51
NI Komplete Ultimate 11//Albion One//Soundiron Choirs//Pianoteq//Analog Lab//VSL SE & Chamber Strings//etc

Of course, it's useless speculation! I don't know who wrote it. If it's MOTU it's a mystery why they didn't support it. I have all kinds of useless speculation. Sorry for not announcing it as such. Here's some more. The guy who wrote it for MOTU didn't get paid what he wanted and refused to hand over the code. MOTU decided it wasn't profitable. It was written on spec. The guy who ordered the project was fired. I can speculate all day. I see nothing wrong with that.

I've known examples of vaporware where the guy moved on with his own interest since it's not financially remunerative.
All the best,

Oh okay... I'll play along. The guy who wrote it was abducted by aliens. Fortunately he had the source code on a thumb drive and managed to escape by injecting the DP Control code into the navigation system of the alien mothership, creating enough confusion to allow him to make a break for the escape pod and return to earth, yet, alas, without the source code and that was that. Damned aliens ruined it.

That's just daft. Putin wrote it, and then stopped updating it to bring the movie business to its knees.
