Would you buy a plugin for $1000 without being able to test it?

Probably not.

Where's the betting pool on how long this lasts before he gets slapped with trademark infringements for all the logos used without permission?

This is actually what was said and what the response was:

That's not a good argument. This may work in the Windows world, but not in Linux.

If you are going to try to insult Linux users and say that they are elitist, at least "try" to make a coherent argument. Linux users try software to make sure it works on their distro of choice. No one said anything about demanding free software. You sound like a moron.

From that topic:

This is how you falsify quotes. Was it intentional?
You should already quote everything!
Here's the original, it wasn't about having something for free, but about the developer's strange answer as to why there is no demo.

Yeah. He's anti-Linux, but he can't put together a coherent, logical sentence. Does wonders for his credibility.

So, a paid demo?

Rephrasing the post I replied to: “People want a demo, and they don’t want something for free.”

In which totally sane and rational mind does this sum up to something else than a paid demo? The alternative would be something for free. Make up your mind and/or stop trying to troll (badly).

You’re the first toxic troll on my ignore list here. Congrats. And I’m out of this topic now.

Maccaroni intentionally shortened the quote (which was mine) to give it a different meaning. For whatever reason.
He obviously doesn't understand the purpose of a demo.

The GUIs on some of these are just still photos with new knobs and meters superimposed on top.

What kinda Action 52 shizz is this? May as well throw in a port of The Cheetahmen.
