Re: MacHeist
pile:
My point is whether it’s a good idea, as conscientious consumers, to accept such steep discounts on the products that we use and love.
Of course it is! If a company sells a product I like for less, I’ll buy it for less. I’m not sure there’s a moral argument to be made over totally voluntary marketing schemes. The real complaint against MacHeist should be over the quality of some of it’s licenses: in the past I’ve purchased MacHeist and gotten software that was NON-UPGRADABLE (CoverSutra, 1Password). That’s immoral!
More importantly, many of the apps are crap, which I would not have bought otherwise.
