[Rwp] Slightly OT Isotope Plug-ins

Sat Feb 13 15:43:31 EST 2016

I've seen a few popular plugin developers take a while to release
trial versions, but can't say I remember coming across many (if any)
that don't allow any kind of evaluation. Who does this?

Also, in addition to what Oreo said, I've only ever had an extended
debate about refunds due to inaccessibility with one company. *cough*
Toontrack *cough*.
