you mean like when witches turned their backs on Apple Silicon Macs?
someone else comes up, or maybe not,
either way as long as you stay with whatever operating system platform is compatible, and don't obsessively hoard latest plugins that won't be cracked, you'd be good to go

 

OK, I got your point, but I have to admit I never had any problem with their releases while I had some troubles with other teams' ones.
I'm talking from my own experience and after all, worship is not my goal. I just recognise what I've experienced after more than 25 years using this warez stuff, because I've never been rich.
Of course, there are some releases that had to be fixed afterwards, but, at least, they do and after all, we cannot complain for something that's been given for free. I admit that the opening question in this thread was pretty dramatic, but if anybody wants to be thankful, let them be. There are two options here: either be a worshipper or be grateful. And, to be honest, I don't see anything wrong in any of them. It's not wrong to be a worshipper of something given for free, at least, in this matter, there are no fanboys who spent hundreds or thousands of, call it dollars, for a determined brand.

Finally, if you want somehting perfect, pay for the legit versions, although you won't always get something perfect.
(I'm still regretting putting money on Arturia's several products, just to give an example...).

 

Read the licence agreement: You dont buy the plugin. You buy the right to use it.
Keep the car you rented from Avis for your vacation, then go tell the judge that it’s not theft...

The witches are definitely a great team. But they aren't yet the greatest in audio scene history:

1. First and second Syncrosoft dongle emulators: H2O (Cubase SX3 - 2004) - AiR (Cubase 5 - 2009).

2. The latest totally and perfectly defeated iLok releases: audioUTOPIA massive bundle (iLok2 - 2016) Side note: Seventh.Heaven.Professional.v1.3.3.READ.NFO-R2R not properly cracked by R2R (volume fluctuations)... and still no repack like the ones AiR/H2O used to release in case of bad crack.

 

We all make bad purchases sometimes; it's part of life. Be glad you were able to help some French people with their salaries, since you were primarily paying for their labor. Team R2R is like Robin Hood; he stole silver coins from the rich in England and distributed them among the poor. That's why people love R2R—because of this poetic justice.

 

Hi @PulseWave yeah, and I always think I'm doing right even when I'm not happy with the result. I but when I can, I do it just to support who I think deserves it if the product is something I really like and use. I've bought not only arturoa's but some others. When bitwig started, I tried their 1.3 version from quarter site and I loved it so I bought it, back in the year 2016 or so, cannot remember and I've always paid for the update when I had some dough for it.
Sorry for the mistakes written but I cannot see very well on the phone... Hehehej
