Only way to stop piracy is to make it easier and cheaper to buy the goods legitimately in all corners of the world. Since that won’t be happening, and since so much content is an outright gamble if it’s even any good, piracy will continue to grow.
Just read it. Confirmed everything I was thinking, the people running Analogue are shitheads.
Ha, and that’s if you can even time the order it actually goes through, since they still haven’t improved their store despite repeated instances of resellers buying them out immediately. Gosh, I wonder if they themselves “buy” the product to resell under different names at incredibly elevated prices. Nah, that would be illegal, and corporations clearly follow the law nowadays, right.
And yeah, not only have these chucklefucks done nothing to improve their ordering or stock situation, they can’t code either so software such as for the Pocket is still unfinished and lacking. These shitheads are selling crap on empty promises, and not delivering, all the while keeping the scam going since too few have noticed this company is propped up by years old rumored quality. Sure the hardware is nice, but it’s always late and there’s never enough, which hardly matters when the morons can’t competently write the software to go with it.
Consumers don’t need to know how the sausage is made, but they sure as fuck know if it tastes good. Ignoring criticism because consumers don’t know how the sausage machine broke is how you get endless news articles pointing and laughing at Bethesda.
The customer is always right goes beyond the literal words. Perchance it’s a lesson that needs relearned.
