More information on future updates M+

Whining about the whiners is second level whining. You bring nothing new to the table. Nobody needs to pass your right of passage to voice their opinion.
IMHO A lot of whining is due the NI not communicating with the community and not addressing the things the users have been asking for 10 years.
There is a lot of positive feedback too. And if you ask questions the community is quite helpful.

Your argument: if you whine, they might stop investing……

I have some more advices:

• Don’t call people “negative Nancy” and “whiners”
• Don’t accept everything only because otherwise the product will disappear (btw: I’m convinced of the opposite: the product will disappear if badly threatened by the company itself)
• Don’t think people don’t know their Maschines and don’t think to be funny launching challenges about questions on the manual. Many know Maschine’s insides outs…and many of those are exactly the ones underlining what’s not working and what can be improved (btw: the complaints are often about NI attitude, not about Maschine itself)
• Don’t say false things: I bought first Maschine at day one. We PRAISED Maschine and its strengths for YEARS. And NI behaved, let’s at least say, not correctly for years. False promises, negligence on their product, bugs not fixed for years… And THEN people started to give negative feedbacks. And those come out of love for the product and will to see it shine, not out of hate. And from frustration. NI could give lessons about how to transform during the years users’ suggestions in negative feedback by ignoring them (damn’…even a “we won’t implement this because it’s not what we envision for our product” would have been better than their attitude…)
• Don’t think Maschine end will depend from users underlining their mistakes: if it makes money, it will survive. If not, it will be EOLed. That’s how easy is to understand how today’s economy works. And, as a company, seeing your competitors offering “more and more” is what forces you to give “more and more”, not the users
• About being development team asked with “more and more”… what they could do is e.g. show they at least listen to some (the less absurd ones) of the feedbacks users give them (feedback doesn’t mean only positive things, but also suggestions on how to improve). One example pertinent to the thread: why not creating (and SELL) ulterior dedicated instruments for M+? Not to talk about fixing bugs (which, btw, should be their duty…)

Oh…and, of course, following Alexios suggestion to not receive emails and not read the feedback posts, so the “negative Nancy” and “whiners” won’t mess your email. But, seen the count of your posts, maybe you are new here and didn’t know the possibility is there.

Sorry for being so direct…maybe your calling others by names didn’t help building a constructive exchange.

Oh…I forgot: how many of you with two 500 pages books know many of the things in those manuals are there because users asked for them instead of just shutting up? Will you randomly chose exactly some of those “obtained” features for your 10 questions?
