There's also a very large Mac audio community that cant use VST plugins. Perhaps it would be more useful if you lobbied Apple to support the VST format. Plenty of companies produce plugins for which are restricted by platform or format. Mostly they're small development companies that dont have the resources to support multiple frameworks, but some large ones do. Not every lightbulb fits every light socket, that's how the world works, and you're just going to have to get used to it.Funkybot's Evil Twin wrote:Additional facts?

On the other hand, anyone who's specifically concerned about using a specific plugin, rather than a specific operating system, will find a mechanism for doing so.
That's funny, Im a cross platform Pro Tools user and I can use SE plugins. Are you a Pro Tools user yourself to make that claim?There's no chance of the large, cross platform Pro Tools user base that can't use SE plugins.
Erm, no, logic absolutely doesnt. Firstly, its a false assumption. Secondly the 'I dont want to crowd' still can use it, and the only constraint is their own choice.Therefore, logic dictates that those groups, in addition to the "I don't want to run bridged plugins" crowd, cannot buy this plugin do to how it was developed.
Furthermore, there are other ways round it than bridges. Hooking up a secondary host, (eg by rewire), for example.
Again, it comes down to which is important; using a particular tool, or complaining that the tool doesnt immediately fit within an specific DAW environment, even though it can be made to.
Now, I don't get why you seem to be getting so aggressive about it, to the point where you're conflating made up facts and bad logic, but there you go. You may or may not like the plugin, but seem to have more of a problem with an over-exaggerated 'SE limitation' that's not quite what you present it as, and want to make out to be more important for other people than the functionality the plugin was designed to deliver, which is just not true.Now, I don't get why you seem to be getting so defensive about it. You like the plugin and don't have a problem with the SE limitations. Good for you. I'd like to see the developer create a native version and won't spend money on it until/unless that happens. Good for me.
If the developer doesn't create a native version and you won't spend money on it until/unless that happens, then that's fine. Unless of course you really need a good Linn emulation and you're cutting your nose of to spite your face, in which case, that's a bit silly, IMO.
