And yes, I'm shouting :x
Even if we knew some "facts", the way they left the stage so far has been more than shabby.

Really? Nobody is discrediting anybody. The rampant speculation is entirely on them.

Shady for the acquirer, not CA.

Where is the logic in that? Selective perception maybe?

EDIT: and it's shabby, not shady.

Say it's Apple, they will have some ridiculous clauses in the contract - one of which is likely complete silence until they announce the news.

Ben is therefore bound to these terms.

Yeah, hence shabby, not illegal or inexplicable. If CA wants to be 'that kind' of company they are perfectly free. That's not the vibe they built their business on though.

If this was NI or somebody like that there would be torches and pitchforks.

They did that all on THEIR OWN with THEIR OWN behavior. :shrug:

But that's what I'm saying, it's not CA running the shots anymore. Assuming of course it is a sale.

You disagree with them selling the company/IP and entering into an NDA?

What makes me laugh most about these threads is the indignation of the preset salesman who've made money off of the synth. Same in Sylenth threads. Thank God I don't need to do business with these guys.

IF they were bought out... then these are THE TERMS of the buyout that THEY AGREED TO.

IF they WERE concerned about their customers... they wouldn't have agreed to those terms or set different terms. :roll:

In any buyout/ merger there is a time period where both sides go silent. Happens all the time. :borg:

Lets be realistic shall we, how much negotiation could a little old Scotsman have against Apple and their legal department.
