Interesting stuff. N.I. Is basically responsible for all these players. It became too expensive and also a conflict of interest to work with them. But it’s pretty obvious that it’s no easy feat to replace Kontakt. The only company that had had crack software engineers from day one is Vienna. So it is what it is, but it won’t be long before most of the players will equal or better Kontakt, at least in all the ways that matter.
Normally you see all these misguided comments about company profits here. Everyone thinks software is too expensive. This industry is quite unprofitable for many companies. Spitfires financials are public record. They make almost zero profit. They have massive expenses. So if you want them around, I wouldn’t complain too much. They are not gouging you. This industry is too small and prices are too low. So yeah us composers are all entitled. I am also a Spitfire customer. FYI I develop all the East West titles but I have no involvement in the financials or stake in the company.
