That's not really true: If you develop a nice and polished desktop application which can be better than an opesource alternative we are disposed to pay.
For example check the Humble Bundle: Linux users always pay more than average.
Although I'd not sell in the Ubuntu Software Center: As you would miss a lot of users from other distros (or people who don't use the Software Center).
- cabirum 14y agoNot quite true. Linux users are the 'true average'. The problem is, Windows Humble Bundles are bought for $0.01 en masse with the intention of reselling, sinking its average price.
- sounds 14y agoCan you cite some data that indicate Windows HB license are bought with the intention to resell them?
- cabirum 14y agoI know a few places reselling the bundles. steampay.com/bundle is an example.
- jiggy2011 14y agoIIRC, there is no "Windows Humble Bundle", you buy the bundle and can download the software for whichever OS you like, including all of them.
- hdra 14y agoI think its not that Linux users always pay more than average, it simply is less Linux pays below the average.
