SrPx Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 But that is when it begins (the Summer).....I don't recall reading it has to be at the beginning, but just in Summer.... It could be released just the latest day of it. Meanwhile, you could send them all your dreams, everyday, in a letter, sealed with a kiss. Yes, it's going to be a cold, lonely summer.

This is so Cheap, that you can get affraid, Affinity won´t do it over the long run. I´d rather pay a bit more but to ruin this promising Product. Right. This is why i asked. This is my point too. In my opinion, Serif is doing a fantastic job with the Affinity products, i really hope that all developpers have a fair wage, and for this kind of product, i can offer more. but perhaps these products are not known enough on the market to set another price. We'll see. Anyway, i'm really impatient, and right, you already have my money for Designer and Photo, and you will for Publisher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it is that since the cost is too low more people buy the software, I mean people like hobbyists out there who just want to have a good photo editing program or want to draw.

I’m sure that’s exactly right. If the number of copies that they can sell at $50 is double the number that they could sell at $80, it obviously makes sense for them to keep the price down.

I wanted to learn vector drawing. $50 was manageable. $80 or more ... not so much as that was an all consuming desire.

If the number of copies that they can sell at $50 is double the number that they could sell at $80, it obviously makes sense for them to keep the price down. But if they up the price from £50 to £100 they only have to sell 1/2 the amount of copies, to users, to make the same profit and you still have the potential for some of the other 1/2 of the users to buy the product in the future if their economic circumstances change.

(Or reel some of them in on a Black Friday mega sale) IMO ~ 50 (even some bucks above) is both a magic number for pure psychology (impulse purchase much more likely to happen!), but also, the kind of price that at the same time makes the product reachable for professionals (who could actually pay more, or most of them) from the first world, but also from several other countries, not so privileged ones. And from hobbyists AND students from many countries. This is crucial for large diffusion, to really build a huge user base (key in this kind of applications), even more when you need to fight a lot of resistance as there are established tools that dominate the market. IMO, need to keep a no-brainer advantage. myclay, nitro912gr, Alfred and 1 other 4 AD, AP and APub. V1.10.6 and V2.4 Windows 10 and Windows 11.

As has been said before, there is not a 1-to-1 feature match with the software that had 100+ man years development in it. Note: Because we are starting from scratch, then straight out of the box it will also be able to do some things PagePlus never could.
