The money grubbing part is that the existing free version will expire and you will no longer be able to use it. So even if you are willing to use the existing product (which doesn't require a "dedicated team of developers"), you are out of luck.
- mahmud 16y agoIf they allowed this old version to float-around, it might tarnish the brand. Also, what stops people from saying "it's money grubbing to have a crippled freebie like this and demand $35 for full version". $35 is nothing. I wrote decompilers and they're pretty damn hard and require constant upkeep and testing.
- Shanewho 16y agoThere is a difference in "They still offer a crippled freebie for download on there site" and "They disable the version that I have on my computer that works just fine, and force me to pay money for features I may not be interested in". If they don't want to offer a free/old/crippled version anymore, I don't blame them. But if I already have the software installed on my pc today, and tomorrow it doesn't work, that's really lame.
