Hi Zap,
Certainly it's not our intention to lose money with Native Plug-ins.
While piracy is a concern with Native Plug-ins, I hope that if we make a good product and sell it at a fair price people will see the value in that proposition, and we can get our effects (which we're very proud of) into the hands of as many people as possible. If we can do that and continue to feed our families, I'm pretty sure everyone over here will be very happy.
