The exploitation term refers to the process of overcharging existing customers in order to subsidise and recruit new customers, without the consent of the existing customers. It’s not my term, it’s what was used in the UK in the Consumer Associations investigation into the same marketing technique when used by insurance and ISP companies! Of course I can choose to avoid this by no longer buying the plug ins. I’m currently running an Antelope Orion 32, and exploring the Antelope FPGA based emulations, which are significantly cheaper than the UAD equivalents, and many of them compare very well indeed.Exploitation? Seems a bit hyperbolic. You got exactly what you paid for - nothing exploitive about it. Perhaps there's a world where those customers have significantly slowed down their spending due to owning most of what they want/need - so UA is going after new users aggressively - why does that make you feel owed something? You'll also find that Drew has was able to get a special promo for a certain segment of user who owns a bunch of plugins and/or hardware - not sure of the specs, but you should have a read through that and/or message him since you might qualify for it.
Re read the post Neotrope, at no point did I state I was no longer using UAD plug ins. I’ve invested too much money in both the hardware and software to abandon the platform! I think admonishing someone for something they haven’t said is much more akin to trolling than anything I’ve posted!new member complaint about old customers being exploited then claims no longer using UAD and using competing brand? Troll logic.
