You might think that driving their library costs up and additive intense hardware-based DRM would lose them sales. Their plugin uses a dongle, and it is not pirateable. Only now, YEARS later, has it become more accepted (and even today, I don't know anyone who would say it's better than Kontakt.) So why did they do it? Piracy. Not only that, but almost everyone hates the new plugin. This no doubt has cost them tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in development costs. Yet several years ago, they opted to stop using Kontakt and develop their own plugin. East West ( has some of the most popular, best-selling and critically-acclaimed libraries around. Nobody likes their hard work being taken from them, especially when they're offering it at such a low price to begin with. I'm sure not everyone would have bought it if it were unpirateable, but some percentage of them would have.
#Shreddage ii keygen torrent
It is all over torrent sites and file sharing sites.
You might have bought Shreddage, and I appreciate that, but thousands upon thousands of others (conservative estimate) did not buy it. The other is that pirating really does affect developers. One, that it is reasonable to expect that you would spend money on a hobby. Might sound like a lot, but I spent at least that much on MTG, video games, etc. Yet even as a high school student, I spent $1000 on Komplete 2.
#Shreddage ii keygen free
You didn't have free orchestral sounds from East West, amazing free synths from companies like u-he, free effects like TLs Pocket Limiter/Maximizer and dBlue Glitch, and so on. You didn't have the free Kontakt Player and Alchemey Player with gigabytes upon gigabytes of free samples. When I started out (2003) there was nothing. That isn't worth it to me, though, so I pirate.īut why not just use free software, or buy inexpensive music-making software? There is so much good stuff out there.
Maybe if I didn't spend any money on gaming for half a year I could save $400 to drop on Kontakt. It's ignorant to just say, "Oh, well anyone can just save up money, you're just a LAZY THIEF." I'd be ecstatic if I could just throw that kind of money around.
