I already wondered for long time why they don't just buy PioneerDj, the biggest DJ brand ever, with all the money you earn with a free open source project ;)
Almost got me there haha
TIL: Pioneer DJ is no longer Pioneer..
I think it still belongs to them, but they rebranded to AlphaTheta
Not according to Wiki. It's owned by Noritsu.
Seems like you're right: "In 2020 Pioneer DJ's parent company's name was changed to AlphaTheta Corporation. In March of that year KKR and Pioneer Corporation sold their respective stakes in AlphaTheta Corporation to Japanese holding company Noritsu" (Source)
At least it's not a hedge fund. 🥹
So glad my £10 donation could help make this happen!!
you fools :)
Damn, I got suckered in too that one.
