That was certainly an interesting read. The costs of things is quite a conundrum in my opinion too... Photoshop - $600, yet many people are preferring to use apps on their phone that provide just what they need (colorization, liquify-type filters, cropping, etc). But back in the day there wasn't that much choice (and I guess that left piracy to fill in the void). The other weird area is the app store: 99 cents (and freemium) is a model that depends on MANY people getting your app, otherwise it's very hard to make a profit. People don't mind paying for quality, but the low cost bar means everyone double-takes when they see an app for $5.99... yet on PC that would be very low for even an indie game or random trial-type-software. Also, app store discovery = major problem... but that's a separate issue lol.
