Not A Good Day To Be A Final Cut Developer – Apple Issues Refunds
It’s hard to believe that it’s come this far that now people on twitter are saying they got a refund for Final Cut Pro. I can imagine that if Apple is losing money over the App, then Steve Jobs would be furious if he was not on medical leave. Having to issue refunds is Apple admitting that the product is not acceptable for the customer base they sold the software to. While they have promised features will return and some features have changed, by and large this update is a complete flop. I would not say it’s a failure, because there are still those out there who find value in it, and it’s primarily those who make money using tools like FCP that are the most impacted. I believe Apple will make things right and prove to the crowd asking for refunds that FCP will be worthy of their hard-earned cash later down the road. I think Apple should have been more forthcoming letting people know that the software would be missing some features and some sort of transition information would have also been helpful.
