But if you think about it... it takes ZERO work, to just say you have something working, put together a video "faking it", then just disapear with the cash. I mean if there is no way for them to overcome anything past 4.5, its either give up and close shop. Or give up and close shop but first rake in as much as you can. Noone can do anything against you since they would be admitting to piracy. And there are sooooooooo many excuse to stall the release.. like "we are adding aditional support" and "setting up servers" etc etc.
Really?
Every dev team I know, and I would personally release FW for 9.0-9.2 (as this covers MAJORITY of your customers, since you told them to update to 9.2), then make new releases when new versions are added. Any PR handbook will tell you, holding back releases like this is terrible for your business. Releasing 9.0-9.2 would cover at least half of the people waiting for the release, make them happy and avid supporters. Holding back like this to appease a tiny fraction of the users that are still on 6, 7 and 8 is moronic!
Unless there is no FW, and they are just coming up with excuses until sales dry up then they get a nice condo in Hawaii and retire.
Not like this exact thing hasnt happened in the scene in the past... WiiKey is one example I can think of off top of my head. DS-Xtreme is another... actually by track record and all this wishy washiness DS-Xtreme is almost exactly like Gateway, almost as if they are the same people.
