Again: EightyTen and EightyEight at the present time ARE FREE and there are no plans to change that. That's a simple fact, so it's correctly advertised. If you want this to change, it can absolutely be done! But I’m sure thousands of Users won’t thank you for it.
Also think twice about using words like “cheated”. Those are very serious legal accusations I won’t take lightly and my patience and understanding with this kind of toxicity is slowly running very very low. There are plenty of products to chose from, if mine don’t sound good for your production, move on. Don’t publically attack my business.
EightyEight - A free Jupiter-8 emulation that sounds awesome!

I hereby publicly retract my statement, “I feel cheated,” and apologize if it came across the wrong way. Furthermore, it is not my intention to harm you or your company. That is the last thing I want.
But this back-and-forth with the labels bothers me. “Unstable” is labeled as free, but it isn’t. As for the other products, I still haven’t fully figured out what they actually are. Beta, free, paid? All of this confuses customers. And I’m certainly not the only one.

This post is about EightyEight. Unstable has a different model — you can download a free version (pay nothing) directly from my website, and the link is right there in the screenshot you posted. If you want to use it professionally and without limitations, you can purchase a license. The limits are clearly laid out on the website — again, transparent. Nothing misleading, nothing cheating.
If this doesn't suit you, move on. Use something else. That's perfectly fine with me.
But the fact that you feel the need to bash someone on a public forum instead of making music, and feel entitled to dictate how they run their business, tells me all I need to know — especially that I'm not the real problem here. I communicate all models openly and clearly, and I have every legal right to make and change them as I see fit. They're not up for debate.
Keep in mind: I do this on the side, alongside a full-time day job. I'm a solo developer, not a multi-million-dollar corporation. This isn't my main source of income — it's a passion project born from years of work, study, professional music production, and servicing synths. That I offer it for free with an optional donation model at all should tell you something about my intentions.
You need to seriously put your issues into perspective. Your feelings are not mine to manage.
This thread isn't a complaint hotline either, and it's not my job to be on standby here 24/7 for everyone who feels the need to jump onto that train. I'd much rather the discussion be about the plugin's sounds and features — that's what I'm here for. Your personal issues with me don't interest me. For any technical questions, bug reports, or actual support needs, I'm happily available via the ticket system on my website. That's the proper channel. Feel free to use it if you need it.
