You should never buy a unit with the expectation that maybe down the line it will have everything you wanted although the QC i still missing some things promised from the start which they are kind of obligated to develop.
Having said that I think they should probably put out a roadmap and re-assure QC users that it hasn’t been abandoned, The advantage of these digital units is that they can be updated after all, imo it’s a good unit with a lot of potential I hope they sort out the update processes to keep building on it many years into the future and future iterations of hardware.

PCOM here, PCOM there - I don’t care about paid DLC! Bring new features, new effects, new QoL improvements! Fractal, Fender, Kemper, they all can do it, why can’t Neural?

Thankfully I didn’t buy it for what comes down the road… But I do like the Morgan amp suite plugin which is my go to on pc… So would be nice on the QC but not a deal breaker either
Because everyone was whining about PCOM and how they promised it, until they finally did, then everyone starts whining that they didn’t actually want it and they want something else instead.

Well for me, PCOM was what I was waiting for and they delivered. Now I dont haver a problem waiting for the amps Id like to be able to add to my QC. The way Im looking at it is learn about the player who’s rig has been added and learn about it and see how I can use it. I’m enjoying the journey, not planning on being a Touring Pro with a “Big Hit Single in the Charts!!!”…FZ
Except when you buy the unit and they tell you the plugins will be available in a couple of months and take your money for them and then don’t deliver and act like you are nothing but a bother and PITA for even asking if you will ever get them.

Citation needed. Unless something’s release is imminent, I’m not sure they’ve ever given timescale estimates…for exactly this reason. People get super shirty if there are unforseen delays.

This guy just assumed all the plugins would be available and bought random ones. Honestly it’s on him for not reading what they said and pretending they gave any sort of time table when he bought them

Let’s not pretend that part of the selling point of modern modelers is not their updates and upgradability. I don’t spend big bucks on a unit “as is” beyond the extent that it does what I need it to do now. One of the reason Fractal & Helix are so successful is their committment to ongoing support and updates. People go in KNOWING that they’ll occasionally get new goodies or that bugs will be worked out, so that provides further incentive to spend the kind of money these modelers command. It’s not a problem, but the whole “buy it for what it can do now and not what it can do down the road” mindset just isn’t applicable to modern modelers.
Fractal would sell a great deal fewer units (or be irrelevant altogether) if they just released the Axe III at version 1.0 and never moved on. Instead, Cliff is constantly improving it, adding new stuff, tweaking existing things, regularly responding in the forums (and taking customer feedback into account), and this is what keeps units selling week after week, month after month. NDSP is good stuff, but they’ve got a long way to go to match the level of support, interaction and involvement with the community, and updates that their competition provides.

Depends on your use case.
For me it was all about the QC being able to do things none of my other gear does, and having gigged with one I knew it would work for me in a live environment and be the right tool for a particular job that happens to be my bread and butter these days (and yes, that includes the Transpose, and I’ve had it work for me on a couple of gigs).
The updates are a cool bonus (I’m definitely looking forward to being able to use the SLO-100x plugin on it, I actually purchased it a few days ago just because I knew the update is coming), but the QC as it currently is actually IS why I purchased it.

It’s not a scam, they’ve been doing these Black Friday plugin campaigns since years before the QC came out.

Some guy bought random plugins thinking they would be added to QC right after he got them (from speculation). He owns a license to the plugin but refuses to use it as a plugin and keeps posting on here about how Neural ripped him off haha. It’s absolutely insane

If it’s just the particular amp tones of these plugins that you’re interested in, couldn’t you try capturing them with the QC as a workaround until they’re available? I’ve never tried it myself but it should work.
A majority of the amps in the plugins have versions on the QC anyways. I understand that some of them are different and based on slightly different physical amps, or tweaked for the plugin itself. But that guy complaining about buying the plugins a while back just did did it blindly, assuming they were all being ported to the QC right after they posted about it

You wouldn’t be the only one, but it is still stupid in itself, buying on promises is straight up nonsense
Could you explain why that would be stupid to a stupid person like me?
Shortsighted at best - the reverse is true - stupid is the one lives in the moment with no view to the future. Who buys a digital based product today that is limited in its ability to expand into the future. If I wanted to do that I’d buy the amp I want …?
So don’t believe what they say…gotcha 
Let’t hope prospective buyers get it too.
It was obviously just a joke, dude. Keep your political opinions and TDS out of this forum.
You must be fun at parties.
To make it clear for you: my tip to involve NATO and Putin in the matter of perceived delays of our beloved QC features is as much joking as OP’s remark. Glad that I could clear that up for you. Have a good day…
