It obviously depends on your financial situation. For me, music is just a hobby. I have a day job that pays well enough that I can impulse-purchase a $100 plugin without hurting too much financially. For someone who's just getting started trying to make a living off music production, is a student, unemployed etc., $100 is a lot of money. If they had known the plugin would soon be free, they could have waited and spent the $100 on another plugin they needed/wanted and crossed two plugins off their wish-list instead of just one.BONES wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 1:32 pm Are you serious? Are you more worried about money that music? Are you more interested in a bargain than in the right instrument for your needs? I happily paid the introductory price and I am even happier that I have got more than my money's worth from it and will get plenty more in the future. That it could be had for half price a few months later and is free now is something I honestly couldn't care less about.
Some companies do paint themselves into that corner. It's the same with Waves and Plugin Alliance. Only those unfamiliar with their pricing policies fall into the trap of paying $299+ for a plugin and getting ripped off when it inevitably goes on sale for $29 the next month.tonedef71 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 4:14 am Seeing a promotion offering it for free less than one year after its release just stokes the buyer's remorse of early adopters and underscores the lesson to never purchase a newly released product from UJAM, because whatever introductory price being offered to new suckers is just a trap. You're better off waiting for a Black Friday deal. The only exception is if UJAM e-mails to you a no-brainer customer-loyalty discount offer (e.g. because you own every other product in the same product line, such as every VG except for the newly released one).
UJAM is another of those companies - the most I've paid for any of their products is $39, and even then I felt like an impatient fool for not waiting until it was $19 or $0.
