And based on the rest of your reply to, you also seemed to fail to see the intent of my post.
The title of the thread is "From direct downloader to screen recorder", a truer description should be "Screen Recorder to Downloader and Back."
I also say that this situation sucks and I fear what its looking like the future of StreamFab will be.
Even though I purchased SF a long time ago, and "got my monies worth", I am NOT condoning or excusing the current state of StreamFab, nor what the current direction appears to be. I never have. I never will. And I've not hidden the fact that I purchased "a Maserati" a couple of years ago, due to Fab not fixing HBOMax DRM in a timely manor back then. (sure I still feel some courtesy in trying not mentioning them by FULL name in Fab's forums, just like I don't mention FAB in the other people's forum)
I experienced the downfall of DVDFab DRM Remover for Apple (I had purchased and used that, before DVDFab DRM Downloader/StreamFab came to be). Radio silence when the product stopped working. The occasional "we're working on it", then without warning they stopped selling it, no announcement in the forum that it was done, and that was it. While SF is still getting updates, the "we're working on it" with no resolution is feeling eerily similar.

HA - my situation is the reverse of yours, since I purchased SF because it had HBO up and running before my "Maserati" did - probably the only instance of that occurring, too - so I only ever expected SF to direct download.
I didn't think that your comment was in any way applauding or condoning SF's current state, or its current direction, but to me it really did read as "well, it was a screen recorder before this, now it's back to its origins and it's better than nothing." So if you meant otherwise, you're absolutely right: I didn't see what the your intent of your post was. Perhaps it was the initial insistence that it started out as a screen recorder that did it, so it kind of colored everything that came after that. I was also kind of surprised as it came off as being more an apology or justification for SF which really didn't sound like you, but I couldn't read it any other way - so thanks for clarifying what you really meant, and let me apologize for the misread on my part.
You've actually seen a product just vanish from the lineup and leave its purchasers in the lurch - after first treating them like mushrooms - but since this involves more than one platform, I don't think that option is open to them. As they're still shamelessly claiming it's a direct downloader, I think they're going to try to bluff it out. Not smart, but then nothing they've done so far has been particularly intelligent.
