I mean software instruments aren’t far from this. You can’t download the demo until you give them email. You try to download it, but it’s not actually an installer. It’s an installer installer where you have to check which of their 20 crappy products you want to install. And even though you clicked the link to download the demo, it asks you for a registration code. It’s fucking infuriating. I’ve stopped even downloading them because I’m done creating new internet accounts for every damn thing. And don’t get me started on having them lock up your DAW while they “contact the server” for updates and registration checks.
