[News] IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments | ANN.lu |
Posted on 08-Mar-2004 11:53 GMT by Felix Schwarz | 69 comments View flat View list |
Felix Schwarz, with immediate effect, freezes the development of
fxPAINT, fxSCAN, VHI Studio and the IOUSB- and VHI-drivers. Medusa and
IBrowse are external developments and thus are not affected.
All products will stay in distribution. Whether the development will
be reactivated at a later point in time mainly depends on the further
economical and social development of the market and the profits made
with it.
The AMIGA-pages can be found at http://amiga.iospirit.de/ in the
future. Although www.iospirit.de currently still redirects to this
page, we nonetheless would be glad if existing hyperlinks in
AMIGA-context would be adapted accordingly.
Subsequently, you'll find an open letter from Felix Schwarz to the
AMIGA-community in all its occurences.

IOSPIRIT freezes its own AMIGA-developments : Comment 23 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Don Cox on 08-Mar-2004 16:20 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (Anonymous): "You paid for a product, you got it. If the product was not good enough to justify the price, you should have avoided it. But if you bought it, then you have used it, you did get value for your money, and your credit is used up. You shouldn't go on a forum and hit on the developer. My therory is that humans inherently think that software is not worth money because evolution has not prepared them for virtual goods ;) That leads to extreme expectations: MUST provide updates, MUST be free etc.
If that is your attitude, you will be a disappointed and angry developer, because you have completely misunderstood the market.
What people _pay_ for is support, bugfixes, and updates. They will particularly pay for an update that includes features they have requested.
A "take-it-or-leave-it" program with no support should be a free download from Aminet, as it is useless for long term use. |
