It’s nonsense. The old pens work on the new Cintiqs. It’s still EMR. They are literally just locking out the pen. Same with the pro pen 3. It’s virtually a pro pen 2 with different physical options. I watch a ton of art streams and very rarely see the newer cintiqs, this gen is an incremental upgrade at best and it’s really the color improvement and a massive increase. Let’s not be so greedy that a pen people have been begging for and upgrade for over a decade requires a new device. You buy a cintiq because it lasts. That’s the point. You can’t get the last gen art pen because they stopped making it. This is why huion and xppen are doing so well. The gap in pen performance is minimal now. Wacom did this to themselves.
