Stardock deception and dishonesty

from Stardock Forums

Last Thursday was the fourth anniversary of the start of a thread about Stardock's Multiplicity client for OS X.

 

For four years, Mutiplicity users have been asking for the promised OS X client - supposedly still in development. For four years Stardock's BS artists have been deliberately misleading its customers with crap like the following:

The OS X version is still in development and should be in the 1.1 release.

 

Brad Wardell, June 29, 2005

Sometime this Summer.  Between the move, vacations, etc. our schedule is a bit in flux.

We're beta testing it internally.  If you have ThinkDesk, the beta of it should show up there soon too.

 

Neil Banfield, April 5, 2006

We have now obtained an intel based mac as well for testing and I hope once KeepSafe 1.0 is released we can look at releasing a beta. Unless something happens in the next few days, I expect KS 1.0 to be released in April 2006.

 

Neil, Brad and Frogoy. Your contempt for your own customers is despicable. You are nothing but a bunch of pathetic liars. None of you have the guts to admit the truth and Stardock should be condemned for allowing this charade to go on as long as it has.

Wow. As a newcomer to Stardock I'd be very interested to see the official response to this message.

Ron,

You said that for 4 years they have been misleading people but the most recent comment you quoted is from over 3 years ago.  I have no dog in this fight but is that the newest comment there is?  Maybe they had to drop development?  It happens.

@macaction no argument from me.

Problem is Stardock is still publicly promoting "OS X client in development". Despite repeated attempts to get them to just come clean and admint that it's not going to happen, they continue to mislead their loyal customers and treat them with contempt.
