Yep. My first developer position was at an audio software company that made a plugin used by EDM artists. The year our software was cracked (2009ish), our sales dropped by 65%. Support tickets also nearly quadrupled including a massive increase in refund requests and chargebacks because customers realized they could get it for free instead.

ReFX Nexus perchance? If not it's another example of the crack destroying sales.
Oof. How did the company cope?
