BETRAYAL FROM PC SOFT
BETRAYAL FROM PC SOFT
I've been a happy Windev user since 1994. I can say I love it!
But I'm very unhappy and feel betrayed.
I'm not against the SAAS model, but the way PCSoft manages it, especially the downgrade of licenses even though we've paid for them, forces me to reject the SAAS model.
I find their aggressive, backward sales approach disappointing.
It's a shame for a tool that is a real gem and which, unfortunately, in my opinion, is heading for technological disaster.
Switching to SAAS means that our USB drives are downgraded 8 generations (8 years!) (downgraded to WD23 even though we paid for versions 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 2024, and 2025). I'm sorry, but this is a scam!
There is a way to move to a SAAS system in a more honest way, but of course it requires reflection, listening to these customers (us), but they are too arrogant to understand it (alas).
We, the creators of custom software solutions for our customers, are in a good position to believe that anything is possible...
And I've created a lot of special solutions in the 40 years I've been programming five-legged sheep.
This is an additional stab in the back (after the prepubescent adolescent marketing) to programmers (loyal customers) who have made their wealth and supported them for over 30 years. We are very sad.
