    It´s just some take the challenge and then dissappear, there is no reason, why would they released updates, since it´s all about breaking the protection clean as possible.
    You also need to leak them licenses, so they can analyze and compute keygens, etc..

    Not that I'm hoping for this to be true (maybe a little), but what if R2Rs "huge legendary monster which never showed up before" was the EastWest Opus Player, which could then bring the monster HOLLYWOOD ORCHESTRA OPUS EDITION (944GB in size) and their other newer products which require the Opus player. R2R teased us in their 2021 EastWest releases: "You need R2R PLAY/OPUS release to use this library (as a witch has said...)". Opus player and Opus orchestra never showed up before...

    ^ you'll be waiting longer for those files. R2R probably just look inside the actually legendary vault and decide what to give you the day of the surprise.

    I think the writing is on the wall. NI having 80% sale on UAD synths. Maybe they hear the gong!

    Most audio software can eventually be found on sale for prices like that. Plugin Boutique was selling Sonnox plugins almost all summer for ~90% off. If you do a little emailing, you can frequently get discount codes. A lot of people mention the costs of r&d/development, marketing involved with making a plugin; but all getting a code from them costs is the transfer bandwidth, and probably not even that. Another sale is close to free money to them, and no code = no sale.

    I saw an old Sweetwater ad called "Monsters of Compression", my gut says that may be where the Pokemon reference comes from but I'm most likely imagining things

    It could be something relatively more modest than Ilok3, as I had expected, but hard to deal with. Like Dreamtonics with Synthesizer V and Vocoflex.

    Only 7 days left :guru:

    1 week...
    No sign of R2R…
    I think he’s in his warehouse, hunting for that giant Halloween monster he promised us.

    No sign? The last R2R post on the sister site was less than a week ago.
    Also, I wouldn't be so bold as to assume the gender identity or pronouns of a bunch of witches.

    Yeah, I kinda peek at the posts before everyone else already spilled the beans to SAiNT
    Don’t take the rest too seriously, I just want to keep the vibe fun here.
    If you’re cool with it, I can call them Maiar or Istari Instead of "she" or "he" depends on how magical you feel today.
