[QUOTE="plat, post: 859072, member: 74969"] Well, the point is: someone is used to- and may expect to be- getting a product for free or at reduced cost. Said product is withdrawn or goes up in price at the next cycle and the someone is now unhappy and thinking it's unethical. That's a natural human reaction. Shoot, who wants to pay when they didn't have to before? Software is the company's intellectual property and subject to a lot of analyses and forecasting in order to determine the maximum monetary returns after so much time on the market at such-and-such a price point. It's a science. All that data harvesting people are concerned about, that's a big time supplier. If you buy a software at a big discount, and the company bills your credit card again six months later, now that's unethical. [/QUOTE]
