Are you familiar with the concept of predatory pricing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing)?
Do you think it is an okay thing, applied to either brick and mortar or software?
- Potando 12y agoPredatory pricing doesn't benefit consumers overall, so if I'm most interested in their wellbeing, I don't think it's an OK thing.
- perdunov 12y agoIsn't releasing a free product also predatory pricing? No "free" software is actually free. The developers have just used some resources from elsewhere to create the product (spare time while earning a living from a daytime job also counts), and then released it for free gaining an unfair advantage over those who try to make the product development self-sustained. This is purely cheating or predatory pricing.
