What you've said is true, but it assumes the goal is money. If that's the measurement, then yes they should do that. I'm not him so I can't say for certain, but money doesn't seem to be Jo's end-goal.
- TheCleric 3y agoI’m 100% in favor of money not always being the primary purpose of a business. That being said, you still have to be profitable (if even by a penny), or the business will cease to exist at some point. I hope there is enough of a niche for what Prusa wants to continue to do, but I’m not sure.
- riddley 3y agoI'm not sure either, but AFAIK they've expanded every year. They seem to be doing fine.
- kiba 3y agoThey will be doing fine until suddenly they're not doing fine. There's a delayed effect that you see from your business decisions because it might take years to play out. It's best to get ahead of problems before they become problems. I think Prusa should step up their again and realize that open source isn't really the problem. Everybody gets cloned, closed source or not. It's the nature of the beast.
