What if 80% update for $100?SLiC wrote: Thu Nov 23, 2023 3:40 pm If you charge $50 for an update and 80% user updates, will you make more money than if you charge $100 for an update and only 10% of your user base updates?

That's evil accuracy.
I will save on beers and after work activities and spend on good old GAS.

you think you are the first one to come up with a demand curve aka maximizing profits?dionenoid wrote: Thu Nov 23, 2023 11:12 pmWhat 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.SLiC wrote: Thu Nov 23, 2023 3:40 pm I am happy to pay a small amount for an update and obviously its your choice what you charge, but it is a very competitive market (I only paid 69USD for Pigments in a sale!) so $100 for an update seems like a lot to me.
If you charge $50 for an update and 80% user updates, will you make more money than if you charge $100 for an update and only 10% of your user base updates?
(well, that was what i was thinking, but okay)

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

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

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.ATS wrote: Fri Nov 24, 2023 5:16 am If you don't like the price just don't pay it. I doubt he will change it just because people whine about it.
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.

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.
