Very well, if you have proof of this then I will withdraw my arguement that your claims of massive Warez distribution were blown out of proportion (and I wasn't blaming you for this claim, either, if you noticed). I still, however, believe much more that the reason sales dropped of PPP was not because of warez distribution, but because of the backwards-incompatibility and bug reports. As I previously stated, I could go back through these forums and find literally hundreds of posts in which people state either:- I won't purchase PPP because of the bugs.
And the rest is history. The articles on the Curious Labs website suggest to me that not once did you (Curious Labs) consider this as the reason for your lost sales, refusing to believe that you could have mistakenly released a bad product. If PPP did everything it claims it's supposed to do properly and was backwards compatible, as well as a couple of other tweaks here and there, then it would be a very good product indeed. And I'm sure that none of us wuld be having this arguement, because instead of forums willed with bug reports, it would have been forums filled with praise of your product. BTW, Cheers, why ave you made this decision to not purchase from CL ever again without even waiting it out to see what happens and what the product is like? Don't you think the mature action would be to base your decision upon actual facts, rather then assumptions?
