Lukewarm take: the iPad’s ecosystem is held back by the App Store pricing and sales model. Ten years ago, $29.99 for a solid productivity app was a bargain—now it’s insanely expensive. And w/o upgrades, the only recurring revenue are highly polarizing annual subscriptions.
Valencik @chipotle it’s wild how careful I am with my money in an App Store and yet no where else in my life am I thinking twice about buying things
Watts Martin @valencik Yeah, I do that, too. “$40 is reasonable for this relatively short game, but $7.99 seems awfully high for this iOS app I’ll probably use every day!”
