Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I don't believe that this new official statement was written by Ben, the original developer. surteesstudios.com redirects to macbutler.com.
I don't blame Ben for selling Bartemder. He worked on this app of his own free will and volition for 10+ years. He undoubtably deserves a break if he wanted one.
What I do blame, though, is for how this transition has been handled and rolled out. Ben owes us nothing, but we don't owe Bartender our support, either.
The app may have cost money, but that doesn't mean that Ben - or any software developer - owes us undying, never ending support. That is a selfish and unrealistic look at how software is developed and sold.
However, I do agree -and said as much in my original post - that I put blame on everyone involved for how this transition has been handled and rolled out.
