...Well you know, there's one sure fire way of ensuring that pattern remains that way ... And I guess they went about it for that release, removing all 'choice' from the equation, lol!"We recently did a series of surveys with our customers and found a huge majority are Mac users. So, as OB-E evolved into the very special monster that is it, we decided to release it as Mac only and see what the reception was. "
Although, I'm still not sure of how or why anybody's operating system preference would determine which third-party plugins they wanted? (so long as they were not exclusively-tied somehow to that OS). I mean, why do the users of u-he and fabfilter use both OS formats, but not GForce?
That just seems a very odd concept to me. Oh, and for the record, I am also customer of GForce (although not for the Mac-only product in question) and I also "happen to use" Windows. So, I guess that means I'm in the minority? Haha!
TBH, this whole "tying an OS preference to a plugin developer" bias is all quite a new, bizarre and hilarious concept to me. But I guess it is what it is (has this ever happened with any other non-Apple-owned plugin developer?) I guess, by only supporting one particular format for a given product can only result in the outcome of ensuring that situation stays that way. Lol!
