[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 26 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 08-Mar-2004 16:37 GMT | In reply to Comment 23 (Don Cox): >What people _pay_ for is support, bugfixes, and updates. They will particularly pay for an update that includes features they have requested.
What people pay for is SOFTWARE (if they pay, that is). What programmers want to sell them is UPDATES. So that for those, they will pay AGAIN. In that sense, people to indeed PAY for updates ;) Amazingly, users seem to confuse this at some point and think they enter a life-long friendship with the programmer after the initial sale. |
