@nishyp We try to avoid rumors at this site, but considering that you’re sharing what Chris posted on his Discord, I’ll let it stand.

I’ve been through a vendor that didn’t pay for nearly a year. Fortunately, during the late summer (this year), they started making payments. I’ve just started signing up with some affiliate programs, and am on Plugin Boutique’s program, so this situation is of significant interest to me. I do know some developers that use Plugin Boutique, but I haven’t reached out to them to find out if they’ve had any issues.

So, I absolutely empathize with Chris /Audio Damage and any other developers who have had their payments delayed. That’s a rotten situation. I know there’s a ton of misinformation on the various music forums about the industry. It’s actually been growing and doing well. But Beatport’s parent company has been doing a bunch of acquisitions and may have ended up with some cashflow problems — which is hopefully very temporary.

As far as consumers, I wouldn’t be freaking out and fear purchasing from Plugin Boutique at this point. If they fail to deliver, you can easily go through your credit company to get a refund. But I’ve purchased from them in the last couple of weeks and everything went smoothly as it always has. If these rumors spur people to boycott Plugin Boutique, it could end up putting them into financial jeopardy. That is why brands sue forums and people who spread rumors — if untrue — and why posting rumors violates our community’s rules. But again, I’ll keep it up for now, and know that I don’t think there’s any ill intent in posting it — at most, I would delete it — no one gets a demerit or anything like that. This little group has been a bunch of really civil, well behaved folks. I just want to limit any potential liability, that’s all.
