Nope. Look at Steam, for a good example. There are plenty of indie games priced at the ~$10 dollar level, and there are also AAA titles priced at ~$60. Neither one has doomed the other. The games market allows for simpler, low priced indie games, but there is still space for the blockbuster games that cost 5 times as much. They're different products, and different markets.
I don't know enough about Mac software to speak for that though. I'm a Windows/Linux user, and virtually every piece of software I use is free or a corporate application.
- dmix 16y agoBut most mac apps are created by indie shops. Are there ever any "Blockbuster" mac app releases? You rarely see marketing for mac apps. Most of the big names (ex photoshop, word) are so established that they don't need to bother worrying about price (or possibly even using the app store). But still thats a small percentage of the market.
