![]() Spectrasonics might simply not need to maximize money on every product to survive and might willingly keep the userbase as low as possible to avoid for example support staff. Kinda like a huge YT channel like LTT needs to invest tons of money into sets and props, just to keep production values high, which used to be "free" when they were shooting in Linus's house (because there you already have a kitchen, furniture, lights.). Videos can be shot in Eric's personal studio, so production value is super high with zero expenses. If they don't have tons of full-time employees, don't have company locations, the company might have minimal running expenses. Eric probably has other income that trumps the Spectrasonics income a thousandfold. I have no idea about their company structure. As sterotypical as it sounds, these people are a delight to work with. ![]() It is not impossible that they don't want the "middle ground" or even n00bs (support-intensive, have actual usabiity requests, etc.) and focus on the AAA who'll gladly pay 1000 bucks if it saves them 10 minutes of time, as well as the pure hobbyists that are also a big target of the workstation/arranger market. Not in a malicious way, but simply choosing the target audience. Maybe they even only WANT the AAA people for whom the money is but petty cash. It was such a GIANT amount of content at a really good price, I would have never expected anyone to want to get it years later. The thinking was "the BWW customers who want Revive will buy it immediately, the ones who are not interested will never buy it". We genuinely did not expect anyone to want to buy it after the intrp period. They might be in the royalties/passive income bracket that they really think "if you want all 4, you buy all 4, if you don't want all 4, you'll never buy the ones you don't want anyway" and really do not expect anyone to get one today, another in a few weeks, or so.Įven OT has fallen prey to that thinking with the Berlin Woodwinds Revive crossgrade back in 2017. Though I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they genuinely do not see the issue or that it is not an issue for them. Haha, yeah, that doesn't really help the Elitist tag, indeed C'mon guys, just have it based on what you own. (and Tobias, this doesn't help the elitist tag, does it?) Good for the rich, bad for the poor, and the implied solution of going into credit makes me queasy. No, you can't buy one when you can afford that, and then a 2nd and start getting the discount. If cash is hard to come buy however, you are penalised. If you have disposable income - you're fine. But when I thought about it, the idea that you only get discounts if you buy TOGETHER felt ethically dubious to me. They set the price and model how they see fit of course. ![]() I do have one new irk which doesn't affect me but does affect others, and it is one specific of the pricing for these extensions. But things like this, or the crazy categorisation system, will forever irk. I think some of the results we all love come from that attitude, so I'm not totally down on it. In general, Spectrasonics do things their way, and no petitioning or reasoning affects that. But it's still obviously poor he didn't engage with the issue. you said you didn't use it any more? If so I guess the reply kinda makes sense. Anders - at first sight that's an awful reply, but I'm a little confused as to what you wrote.
