There's many combinations of customer status and vouchers but I don't think any of them works for a price of $149epiphaneia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:17 pmNow let´s see whether PA honors that lotterySampleconstruct wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 2:12 pm Place your bids on the release price.

Yeah, I was generally referring to Simon´s "closest bid wins an NFR", no matter who got closestlnikj wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:26 pmThere's many combinations of customer status and vouchers but I don't think any of them works for a price of $149epiphaneia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:17 pmNow let´s see whether PA honors that lotterySampleconstruct wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 2:12 pm Place your bids on the release price.

You are right, you logic is bulletproof.
Now I have to go, things to take care of. I can't afford a Ferrari, so I'll go downtown steal one.

No doubt the plugin is, for most, not cheap, but the development of such software is hard, required lots of talent and skill, usually acquired by some kind of paid for education. There must be some kind of incentive to innovate, let alone earn a living wage and compensate for r&d, etc. Now, it’s not clear to me how much of the plugin is innovative and how much is recycled from there previous wares.
But even so, UA need to make money, PA need to make money. From a business point of view, it’s dangerous to lower prices. Generally, this results in a industry wide devaluation of products and services, and a race to the bottom. Profits become thinner, and smaller business usually cannot compete because they cannot generate enough sales to thrive on small margins. Now, I’m not sure exactly how this works with software, I admit. But I also don’t really know how large the market is for such an effect. Surely, the developers at UA could be making bank ($$$$) working for a larger corporation. So, from a developers standpoint, they do have to balance their passion versus the loss of income of a more conventional job.
Ultimately, if you can’t afford it, it says more about your own financial status than the reasonableness of a products price. When I was working, $250 on a plugin was nothing. As a student, I’m wary of anything over $50.

I guessed $99 intro price, and with the "heavy hitter" discount, I was right.epiphaneia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:17 pmNow let´s see whether PA honors that lotterySampleconstruct wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 2:12 pm Place your bids on the release price.

with discount I can get the $74 price (thanks for the link robbmonn)
which places me in the quandary of having Reaktor Blocks but BYOME is slightly different and easier to get going quickly.
One to demo for as long as possible - did they give a date for the introductory pricing?

Right after me, I think that one´s quite close: "$199 intro, then $249 after a week." I reckon I´ll just buy it for $74 otherwise (which is quite a nice loyalty discount btw!)JerGoertz wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 8:03 pmI guessed $99 intro price, and with the "heavy hitter" discount, I was right.epiphaneia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 16, 2018 5:17 pmNow let´s see whether PA honors that lotterySampleconstruct wrote: ↑Sun Oct 07, 2018 2:12 pm Place your bids on the release price.
