Agreed, I think a lot of people would like a going out of business sale.

I just got back up and running after years of not having a music production system... Just last week I got in touch with Steve to help me fill the gaps in my DLM backups... Now this? so sorry to hear this news... Best to you and all you do in the future. You can bet I will keep an eye out for any future efforts, Steve!!!

FWIW, I already have a few of your plugins, but if you were to offer a complete bundle for a reasonable price, I would certainly want to take advantage of it. Food for thought.

Theo has a good point there imho.

I bought lots of dlM stuff and always thought they where rather "save" because I knew I could download them again from my personal dlM account when needed. I even asked to add the plugins that I bought prior to his new website account system to also add those licenses to my new account. So I had everything in one place. And so he did

And now it's like *Oops! Bye!*

and *bang* all gone..

Steve,
it was a pleasure to collaborate with you when we shared ideas about what became later Ditto.

Good luck and thanks for all your creativity.

Ciao
Francesco

Thanks for all the kind words and wishes

As for the lack of future download links, Theo you're making a bigger deal out of this than needed (Thanks Captain Consumer Crusader!)

- Everyone who bought a plugin received it
- Everyone in the past who needed a new link got one
- All plugins will continue to work for an unlimited time

No-one has been ripped off, or not given what they paid for. You can put your underwear back under your trousers and take that cape off Theo

I'm sorry that some customers feel let down that I cannot provide you a personal backup service for all historic purchases.

Of course I will try to help out where it is reasonably possible, like I did with Ghostwave. What I can't promise anyone (and never did) is that all your purchases can be downloaded again in the future.

I highly recommend everyone who bought a plugin from me to make a back-up copy of the installer. Like you would for plugins from any developer.

Just checked, I have most of them backed up in my e-mail, only missing the GTO/GTA/GTX/QB3 Bundle (because they where probably too large to send as attachement)

Seems plausible enough to me (being the proud owner of one weird sound-destroying payware delamancha plugin of which I have several backups on several hdds

). I don't know where that strange assumption comes from, that a software plugin-developer does have all kinds of additional moral obligations besides the contractual ones.

The normal process of buying something is: You buy it, you pay for it, you get it. That's it. Why - unless something else is explicitly promised - should it be different in the world of software instruments ? I don't get it.

Fortunately you said 'worn' not 'washed'.
