Woah! I've been sitting on a need for MSVC static analyzer for years. I looked at PVS-Studio (prompted by that exact Carmack's plug mentioned in the interview), but the multi-$K price was a non-starter. Static analysis has always been a secondary need in our case, a "nice to have" thing, which is now very easy to justify with $250 price tag. Thanks, guys! (edit) Ha, it is $250 per year. Interesting. Aside from an initial gut rejection, this is actually not a big deal. 10 years worth of a license is still $2500.

Renew the license at 80% of the initial price (i.e. for $200 per license). 10 years - $2050

Visual Studio 2013 has a static analyzer. A "good enough" solution that comes free kills all possibility that a second company can make a living by selling an cheap solution.

  > A "good enough" solution Comparing static analysis in Visual Studio 2012 (Visual C++ 2012) and PVS-Studio - http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0151/ http://www.viva64.com/en/b/0151/ It's old comparison. Soon there will be an article about the comparison of the new PVS-Studio and Visual Studio 2013. PVS-Studio is much more better.

  And how much does an upgrade to VS2013 goes for these days?
