Those were very early days of the App Store, a once in a lifetime opportunity to reach a really big new market which had just emerged. Many developers learned their lessons and quickly stepped down with prices -- ratings went up, and sales followed.
You underestimated how many people would have been interested in your product, even though from the beginning it became clear that your customers were PT LE users -- a really large crowd. Had you adjusted the price early on, by now, you would have been able to hire a tech support person.
Instead you came through as arrogant and detached from reality. I'm not saying that you are, I just think this is the image you have created as a developer. |
yo, no need to be harsh.
at the end of the day he has the right to charge what he wants and if people want it then they must pay it. the only true issue here is that he has priced himself out of the market; at least for the majority anyway.
what he has done is given other developers the idea and opportunity to come to the table with a similar product at a lower price point which is already happening.
i also remember that he had to reverse engineer the software to be able to write the software and only when the SDK came out was he able to make use of proper tools so i reckon there was a lot of time spent on that
