Well, Graeme told me his inbox is like Shaun of the Dead now with Windows users onslaught. :D

So, their decision seems to already be backfiring.

If they're anything like everyone else in the business (and why shouldn't they?), then it's pretty par.

From everything I read on audio forums, it even appears like more people use Windows than Macs for audio, if anything. I don't consider forums as a good measure stick for stuff like that, just going by what I read.

Apologies, I really thought you were being sarcastic.

Really weird they would release Mac only. I would've most likely purchased after only 5-15 minutes of testing, if it were for Windows. This particular synth model is that big of a soft spot for me, and seeing that it's GForce it would've most likely been very good.

Honestly, i do think they only have the choice to release for Mac only or to release nothing? Not a big deal at all but very disappointing for the rest of us. Noted.

But we do get rezoneight carrying on his personal vendetta against a couple of other KVR members.

I am not shocked not shocked I tell you. :wink:

Hey it is what it is. GForce made the decision to release Mac only at this time for whatever reason.

That was their decision to make whether I like it or not.... :shrug:

Yeah. It still boggles my mind though how you can run a company, and don't know anything about the user base. Or how you can care so little about your public image that you mess up a product release like that.

Anyway, enough ranted. :)

Now that you mention it, I'm sure you're right and this absolutely isn't impacting sales in any meaningful way. Other developers will surely follow suit!

Wait a minute...Mac only?

OMG! :x :x :evil: :evil: :dog:

Even if they don’t have a in-house Windows developer couldn’t they contract that out?
That's the thing. They ALWAYS contract out development. But this developer was apparently clueless about Windows, or at least JUCE.
So the company just kinda manages software developers? Seems weird. Does all of their software synths have a different sound and functionality due to being developed by different people? Seems like most plugin companies have a sort of signature sound from being developed by the same person/people.

You forgot that G Force customers are *special*. They understand the sheer beauty and artistry of an operating system that runs computer software.

The hulking dullards who like a different operating system for a computer that does mostly the same thing and runs mostly the same software, they avoid G Force like the plague. They wouldn't want their sinful, unwashed bodies to be baptized by the glorious holy light that emanates from a different computer operating system that runs computer software.
