Now computers are so ubiquitous and powerful that people pay for "virtual" things all the time. They pay to download that song off of iTunes. They pay to download that iPhone app. Hell, they pay for "land" in Second Life and "money" in Farmville.
- ohashi 17y agoThat doesn't mean they see real products and virtual products as equal. It is simply acknowledging that virtual products exist.
- jackowayed 17y agoI wasn't saying they see them as equal. I'm saying they see them as more equal than they did when virtual products were seen as totally worthless.
- ohashi 17y agoI see your point, I would counter that users almost expect everything for free these days and getting them to pay is harder than it was before, but easier than originally?
