    There are generally no problems at all with them (when releases). If there are, they are either problems with the legit too, or clever protection by developers.

    Most "problems" are the result of there being 2 different architectures in use, ARM and Intel. If descriptions and titles of releases are clearly marked as Intel-Only, ARM-only, or U2B; there are way less people with "problems" aka user error. Compatibility issues account for almost all problems.

    Why is Neural DSP so popular on the sister site now, what's happening? It's some amp simulations, you guys all guitarists?

    Yes, believe it or not, many of us who hang around these 'music software sites' are actual musicians who remember we have 2 arms, 2 legs and a brain. Those NDSP releases are top class, not just because they're the latest but they are much better versions (features and lower CPU/better sound) vs the older version from some years back.

    This might shock you also, but some of us are guitarists, but also pianists, bassists and vocalists, we're not all just mouse jockeys.

    People got tired of Olly James presets , boom bap crates, trap and phonk samples. Got some udemy courses and boom we're all guitarists now.

    Latest ilok have been cracked for a long time but now you see more of them get released because pace announced fusion version 6 which is new one and so now keeping older one's vault has no influence on pace and their will be no more action from them.
