Wow. Like others, I'm horrified at the lack of love for loyal customers. Sorry but making any comments about the world moving on, aka OS vendors updating their operating systems is just stupid.
At the end of the day, Line6 has decided to stop supporting their product. Probably because they want you to buy their new product, and this is their strategy. What you buy today will be supported for a year, and then you need to buy the next version.
While the product still works (in my case a POD X3 Live), I can't edit it any more easily - I miss GearBox... which just boggles my mind. Why can't I save POD Farm patches to my X3? It's what, a couple of lines of code to enable this? Sure kill off Gearbox, which btw was awesome, but replace it with nothing??? My pain is that I want a solution... bake it into one of your supported and developed products if you're adamant to kill of GearBox...
Please come up with a sensible solution.
