I hope not! That kind of thinking is what put Toon Boom's prices through the roof.exile wrote:In any case I don't expect SM to be moved by the concerns of individual customers. They're going to look at their sales balance. If it turns out they miscalculated, they might adjust the price.
If their sales go up (because of the great new features) then by your logic they'll put the price up again next year just to see what happens.
Smith Micro are a $30 million company. They have many different products and revenue streams. They don't have to start gouging their customers that have the least disposable income. And to their credit, they don't. They've picked a market and priced accordingly.
Smith Micro have been really fair with the pricing of Moho up to now. It used to be a no-brainer to upgrade. Now people are having to think about it. Unless Smith Micro is moving into the professional market exclusively, they should realize that they are now at the higher end of what the market will stand.
