Buzzwords abound. How do they know a freemium model will be possible without losing money? Why will they put out a beta rather than starting with a "gold" version of the software?
Articles like these do not bode well for their subjects. They read like symptoms rather than anything that actually increases hype in my view.
- icebraining 11y agoHow do they know a freemium model will be possible without losing money? They don't, just like they also don't know if a non-freemium pricing model will be possible. They presumably wrote a business model that it'll be implemented and then reevaluated. Why will they put out a beta rather than starting with a "gold" version of the software? Probably because they want the benefits of having early feedback before investing too much work into it.
