Mac is not immune to this type of crap, I tried Corel Painter demo version and the updater it installed put up random windows with ads after a while until I figured it out and removed it.
- indymike 6y agoCorel has become so spammy and nickel-and-dimey. I'm probably going to just stop using their design products when my current subscription ends. I'd love it if they'd just focus on having great products instead of selling add-ons that are of little value (no I don't want to buy huge packs of stock art like its 1999 and everything comes on a stack of cd-roms).

I've had this happen to me this year. I had this happen after I went to play music, and this popped up for me AFTER selecting a song I owned to play. So, if we are going to go after Steelseries for advertising for free software specifically used for the hardware the person owns, let's make sure we call it out wherever it's happening.
