I think it's pathetic to whinge about having to drop just $5 on an app store version when a lot of users originally got it through a discount bundle such as Macheist. Especially as it will update to any future version (3.0+) for free and the existing app isn't going to expire, as stated in the blog post.
Look at any other company, Apple isn't going to give you a free code to say, Aperture 3 just because you own the pre-MAS serialized version.

- netnichols 16y agoPeople aren't mad because it costs $5, they're mad because she broke a promise. And if Apple had reneged on a promise that all Aperture 2 users would get Aperture 3 for free, you better believe it would get huge (negative) media coverage.
- glhaynes 16y agoIf Apple had explicitly promised Aperture 3 purchasers free updates until Aperture 4 and then they'd put out Aperture 3.5 with new features only on the App Store (and told people to just get over it because it's too hard to maintain two versions), then the situation would be similar. And people would very rightly be pissed.
