I NEVER said IK suck at what they do. I did say the IK forum is run like the gestapo. Why? Because there is no free speech there. Don't put words in my mouth when you can't even process what was said.
 
If saying that ST3 has been touted as  "in the works" for over 2 years now, that's not saying IK sucks. That's saying you guys at IK have been saying that for over 2 years now. Is that clear enough?
 
So you guys at IK can keep on making great plug ins and saying ST3 is in the works. Please come back in 2 years when ST3 is done and let us know. Also, please let us know of other great plug ins along the way.

I'll let IK Obi handle it from here forward, but just a one thing he may not have pointed out to you that should be crystal clear, and an offer to show confidence that your final statement about ST3 in 2 years is way off:
 
1.  There is no "free speech" on any forum, and it isn't any different on a company forum like IK's.  You agreed to whatever rules were set out there on the IK forum and moderators do their job to enforce those rules and if you do not agree with the rules or the enforcement of said rules you are welcome to avoid using the forum or contact an administrator, etc to make your case.  Seems pretty clear, and not unique to the IK forum.
 
2.  SampleTank 3 will be out by end of this year, 2013.  If not, I authorize Obi to give you you a serial for T-RackS CS Grand and another for AmpliTube 3 with his and IK's compliments.  That's a lot of $$ worth of software, and some crow to eat so you can see that this isn't a bet that is expected to be lost.
 
I hope that helps.  I'll let IK Obi take it from here.

Too bad I already have both else I'd do a shakedown on IKObi in about 5 weeks.

I'll take TRacks CS Grand, thankee kindly, as I don't have any of the "new" stuff.  That's mighty nice of you fellers.  Just PM me and I'll give you my direct email.  You might as well do it now...but I'll completely understand if you want to wait...just for appearances sake...till Dec. 31/Jan. 1.
 
 

Yup,
 
I'll take a license for each. I can then sell them and help offset the upgrade cost of ST3. maybe... 

Ha ha this should get interesting

Free IK licences for all Cakewalk forumites! Yipee!!

Peter was addressing GuitarPima, not everyone in this thread. The offer stands and on 12/31 I'll have some serials for him. Pm me for the details GuitarPima.

Actually, it says I authorize IKObi to give you you  a serial for....
I felt the 2nd "you" was directed at me, specifically.
 
That said, with the above comment "The offer stands and on 12/31 I'll have some serials for him." we can conclude 2013 is a no show for S3.
 

Embarrassing, really. Cowardly. Weasley. Par for the course.

Who knew that when IK intentionally publicly states information, versus using a private message they are in fact only directing the seemingly public message to one person. If this is the case, why don't they they hawk their advertising to every forum member individually? I look forward to the response that will in essence justify double standards.

For the record, I don't need or want the promised software. I already have it. However, as a paying customer of dozens of software vendors for 30 plus years, I just find IK's approach to customers baffling.
