pfost-it notes

Thing is, it’s not a good argument at all. The apps in the bundle are great (at least several of the ones i’ve played with). But I never would have known that without this bundle.

It’s not that I never download demos. I know most of these apps had free demos. It’s that I simply *never would have known about them*.

This promotion, while it essentially cost the developers money, has brought at least two apps front-and-center in my brain. I already love them. I’m already an evangelist. Is that kind of marketing a good strategy for a developer, mac or otherwise?

Absolutely it is.

marco:

I’m not interested in arguing the specifics of the MacHeist deal with developers. I’m sure that nobody will argue the core of it: these applications are being sold at a _steep_ discount. 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. My argument is that it’s not.

yowza.

this game isn’t even translated, so here’s the rules:

the father cannot be alone with either girl.
the mother cannot be alone with either boy.
the thief (striped shirt) cannot be alone with any family member without the police man.
only two people on the raft at once.
