A ghetto huh? Many apps I bought are on the App Store (many can be bought outside the app store too so I bought them directly though). I'm not sure how well MAS is doing but a ghetto it is not.
Target market? Well lets try the average user who is much better off with buying from Apple who already has their credit card than going through some little website and their pain in the ass credit card form, registration and what not.
- pavlov 12y agoSo the Mac App Store is highly convenient, yet you always choose to buy outside the App Store when possible? That's not the greatest endorsement ever.
- sleepyhead 12y agoThat's my preference. You didn't understand what the target market is. I tried to explain it to you but obviously didn't understand it.
- pavlov 12y agoThere's no such target market as "the average user". That's usually a condescending fiction used by techies. The line of thought is something like: "Of course I do interesting stuff on my computer, but the average person doesn't. All they need is X." Importantly, X is never defined by asking actual users, but is simply a distillation of prejudice about the needs of "the common people".
