I got essentially the same response. All I asked them for was a WUP extension, since their plugins had been unusable to me (and other DP users) for about a year. They flatly refused. That was the last time I was WUPed, and I won't ever go back.

That was at a time when Waves wasn't working in the then-current version of DP and when they finally fixed it they asked some DP users for another WUP in order to get the fix. So they essentially charged DP users for a full year that the product didn't work. I cannot/will not support this company and will dis them every chance I get! My advice is the sooner you dump them the better. There are other great plug-ins out there from companies with scruples.

Two words: Fabrice Gabriel. Ever since FG-X, I've been a big fan. He's sort of like the modern day Michael Gerzon. His stuff is brilliant.
