What if 80% update for $100?

In my timezone avenger 2 will exactly be out at 6 pm end of day.
That's evil accuracy.
I will save on beers and after work activities and spend on good old GAS.

What you really mean is that you already spent way too much money on new stuff, so you were hoping that this update would be cheaper.

(well, that was what i was thinking, but okay)

you think you are the first one to come up with a demand curve aka maximizing profits?

Noiseboyuk made me take the plunge and I'm happy I did. It's really an impressive synth.

Five hours left. I think I am most curious about the Spectral Oscillator and the Shimmer verbs. You can do a lot of fun with those things. Oh and that the drum preset box is no longer painted in a little tiny corner

10% of 3.5 million is still 350.000 users is still $ 35 Mio.!!!

I was very excited for the update, but after checking the new features id say im in the middle now, because for me only FX module is interesting and a much better UI, therefore the price for me is on a steep side... I might be the minority but i really dont need a drum module, never needed and the updates to that one is something i dont care

69 - 79 eu id say is a fair price in my opinion

I dont think there are 3.5 million avenger users. More like 3.5 thousand.

If you don't like the price just don't pay it. I doubt he will change it just because people whine about it.

I think it is ok in a forum to discuss the price of a product and exchange on perception on this price.
Of course it must be in respect of the company. I can't buy Lamborghini because of their pricing strategy but I don't blame them

To stress the car analogy: It’s a lamborghini, but with constant engine hickups and misfires…. Are these fixed now, finally? We don’t know yet.

Just to add a bit of extra noise to the discussion.

Go out on the Youtubes and check out videos complaining about the QC on their Lamborghinis and constant trips to the service.

What's the point of a Lamborghini, if the engine does not work properly. Better buy a Ferrari then. Or VW Passat.
