Anyone else been looking around the NI forums lately ? Reaktor 4 and Reaktor Sessions are being absolutely ripped apart by angry users. Seems it's bug-city for NI again.
I've posted a few derogatory things on their forums lately too (I own Kontakt & Absynth). NI really irritate me - too many neglected users, buggy products, half-fulfilled promises etc
I think now they're reaping the consequences of working on too many products while staring at the bank balance...
I really do prefer the serenity of CW. Better to release nothing than to get people excited about upgrades and then dump a buggy app on the market.
Funny though that NI have never looked so powerful, successful and prosperous - lots of products, lots of plans, lots of users etc. But is this the critical moment in a corporate cycle when things start to slide ?
Is there such a thing as corporate hubris ?
Am I just burbling ?
