> The "monetize everything to the max" policy of encouraging developers to test their new pre-release M1 chip + OS and software for $500 and then after they return their DTK they offered a $200 store credit. Ignoring the fact you completely missed the point of the DTK, this is factually wrong. The store credit was $500.

It was $200 initially, then increased to $500. https://www.macrumors.com/2021/02/05/apple-dtk-credit-for-developers-increased/ https://www.macrumors.com/2021/02/05/apple-dtk-credit-for-de...

No, I'm quite right. It was "upgraded" to $500 after much uproar.

  I just checked my emails and it was always $500 credit offered after returning for me, so maybe some DTK folks were offered $200? Either way, it ultimately was $500 however by your own admission, even if initially stated to some as $200.

    Thanks again for participating in the Universal App Quick Start Program. We heard your feedback regarding the 200 USD appreciation credit mentioned in our last email. Our intention was to recognize the tremendous effort that you have put into creating amazing universal apps. By partnering with us early, you showed your commitment to our platform and a willingness to be trailblazers. So instead of the 200 USD credit that expires in May, we are giving you a 500 USD Apple credit and extending the time you can use it to get a new M1 Mac through the end of the year. This is from a year ago, Feb 6th 2021
