[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 32 of 69 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Anonymous on 08-Mar-2004 17:49 GMT | There's a difference between buying shareware and commercialware.
Often shareware products are less complete products than products you'd buy in a store. Therefore you buy it to show your support for the product and often you are then rewarded with a series of updates of the product. Typically up till the next major revision.
Of course some shareware programmers do this differently, but if I feel I get good value for my money I am more inclined to buy some of his other programs next time. On the other hand I would feel almost ripped off, if I bought a product and the next release would be the next major revision.
It's a psychological thing and if shareware programmers understand how to treat their customers right they also get more sales - if they have more than one product that is. |
