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.
