Because they're now owned by investors, they have to be seen to be making certain statements, even if it's not true of right now, or they're in transition. Cattini might believe what he's saying, but he didn't write it, or say it, which was my point.jamcat wrote: Fri Jun 17, 2022 8:50 pm Why would any CEO tell his marketing teams to talk inside baseball or air company dirty laundry to customers? That would be a super bad CEO. 99% of customers don't know and don't care about this stuff. They just want VST3 and M1 versions, not more distractions.
And of course they wouldn't be super open - there's a benefit to transparency, but also a curse, which has hurt NI in the past. They're rightly cautious, but I think this statement is a stretch too far, because, because it has no basis in their recent interactions with the community. His quote was specifically about listening to customers, and as customers, we have a right to question, and with all the best will in the world, their customers have been asking for VST3 and M1 for a very long time, and they aren't delivering in anywhere near an acceptable timline.
