Do you guys not understand supply and demand? At least we're not faced with a functional price offering with exponential dropoff leaving the consumers without fat pockets with the only option to wait a year for the price to be reasonable.
I'd imagine they could charge 5 times as much for the first month of release, and there would still be clients who would buy it instead of waiting for the second month where it would be twice as much, or the third month for it to be the price its at now. In fact, if you think about the country gap in that respect, it makes sense it would be more expensive over there since products and goods coming from the US usually take longer to get over there, if they want it at the same time as us they have to pay more ! =D Seth -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of John Dowdell Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 1:04 PM To: flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] The great CS3 Swindle Mike Mountain wrote: > Thanks for the response John, please don't take this personally, - but I > suspect the legitimate reason is "because we can".... ... and if that's the case, then I'd like to see those decisionmakers defend it in open debate. But it's difficult for me to see intentional discrimination as the root cause... doesn't match up with what I see of people here. The DNA is towards global participation, so I suspect there are real constraints in the way of flat pricing. I've still got the action item to keep pressing for public explanations about why software companies show such similar disparities across regions. Such a mystery does no-one any good. The ZDNet/CNET articles today likely caught org-wide attention, so I've got some more ammo this week.... ;-) cu, jd -- John Dowdell . Adobe Developer Support .
