Dear Ableton
I've updated to each new version from version 5 to the current version 8 the week they've come out, legitimately. i bought the apc 40 the day it came out, and now you offer sampler for free with version 8 from July 1st?. Come on guys, thats really not very fair.
Did you advertise the sampler deal when version 8 went on sale?. What about your customers that bought sampler as an add on before July 1st? Did you contemplate how they may feel?

Thanks a bunch. jockety

My answer is NO THANKS.
1. ableton customer care not available on weekends.
2. grow a bit.
I'm one of the f@"#ers who upgraded lite to 8 BEFORE july.
You know what? I'm not complaining about lack of sampler in my version.
Happy with 8 here
As said in point 2, grow a bit, welcome in the adultHood

I am completely happy with the discount coupon that Ableton gave us for the Live 8 upgrade.
Alot of companies run promotions like this and even though we do not get Sampler for free we still benefit from this because it will get new customers, Ableton will increase revenue which can be used for developing the software even more.
In other words.... Live 9

should've upgraded to Live 8 Suite. if you've had Live since version 5 and hadn't purchased Sampler yet, then I'm guessing you have no need for a sample player. so why do you need one now? if you're complaining just to complain about something, you're pathetic. quit fucking bitching and upgrade to Suite. the price has been well worth it for me. and it's not unfair business practice to offer an incentive to make a purchase. have you ever heard of coupons? how about rebates? have you heard of those? fucking moron! you aren't going to get any sympathy here. we are all fully aware that companies make special offers from time to time. especially when it comes to music gear.. have you checked out all of the rebates posted by the online music gear retailers lately?

if McDonald's discounts Big Mac's to 99cents, and you ate one last week for 2.49, do you write a letter to the CEO saying it wasn't fair?
This is how business is done. I bought a handful of NI synths last year for what totalled well over 399 and now they offer the entire komplete package for 399. annoying? sure. but reason to complain like this? not at all. fair? of course. it's business.

Dear Muppets,
I have "thanked god" for using my fresh illegal copy of suite 8 which i should have bought in the first place (apparently), I didn't e-mail Native, PSP, or Logic customers services because they haven't tried to rip me off YET. I've written to Mcdonalds CEO asking him to put more aspartame in the coke so you can all continue to fry your brains some more, + i certainly haven't "grown up a bit" or been welcomed to the adult world. Fanks a bunch once again. jockety.

Little jockstrap has early adopter syndrome. Patience has its virtues.
