A: Drama queens want drama.
Plus, ranting about the price of Analogue NT was therapeutic, I reckon. Two-Minute Hate, and all that.
I have ranted about things, most certainly, but since I wasn’t in the market for this niche product, I didn’t really pay close attention to the details. I wonder, though, if I would have felt differently if I had been following all of the announcements —> speculation —> updates —> reactions more carefully.
I kinda feel cheated that I didn’t follow this more closely...but I still think I would have been indifferent to Analogue NT overall.
In contrast, I followed the Retro VCS/Chameleon saga closely and that was incredibly entertaining and well-worth the time. That saga had a bonafide clown/villain, so it was a ready-made circus.
