Acorn vs Pixelmator: Do they spam?

The one category nobody’s talked about when comparing Acorn and Pixelmator: Will the company spam you?

So far, I’ve been spammed by Pixelmator’s partners twice. I posted to their support board asking them if they were aware of this, and they deleted the post. I’ve posted the same question again, on the grounds that maybe (just maybe) they deleted the post by mistake. It’s also possible they didn’t know about the spam runs. Still, it isn’t looking too good.

For those curious, why do I categorize it as spam?

• I never asked for the email.
• It’s bulk.

There’s other factors, too (like I don’t know the company that sent it) but in all honesty, those two are enough to categorize it as spam: It’s unsolicited commercial email.

On the other hand, Flying Meat has never spammed me.

Pixelmator has at this point eliminated themselves from the finals. Looking at the products, it makes me sad that one of them had to win this way. But there’s no way I’m buying something from spamtards.
