It looks as though the smaller and even mid-sized businesses related to WordPress products and services are being snatched up by the bigger players. I have yet to really see products and services get better, including support. If anyone has an example of where things did work out better, please post it.

I use EDD (plus the Pro pass set of addon plugins) and AffiliteWP, also with all the package add-ons, this concerns me greatly. In fact, I’m also concerned with the growing list of acquisitions. I’m wondering if some companies are deciding to get out due to the direction of WP…makes one think. Anyway, I guess this is just part of the WP-related business.

As a side note, I am happy for Pippin because after a long-run of developing his products and maintaining them, I’m sure he is glad to be able to move on.
