I am also very strongly opposed to those developers and studios that choose to ignore support, or simply refuse to ever take responsibility for issues in their work. These are the kinds of developers and studios that always seem to…
Many of you are probably familiar with the project I have been working on lately called Easy Digital Downloads, even if you have only heard the name.
