If shareware prices double in 2010, can you still afford to upgrade?

zridling:
Would you keep buying a shareware app if its price doubles in 2010?



I've seen a few programs already pre-announce new prices for next year (or their next version) that is twice the cost. Perhaps some of this can be attributed to high transaction fees (PayPal, etc.) or to the USDollar's drastic decline. There may be other reasons, but will you be able to continue to upgrade at twice the current price?

Option #1: FLOSS
Option #2: Piracy
Option #3: The Fine Devs realize that we're not buying anymore and drop the prices.

On my Pension? (+- $130 per month) not likely! :down:

TucknDar:
I would certainly be very picky about the software I'd buy/upgrade...

Josh:
I am already picky on the applications I buy. But I will buy an application if it does the job and it does it well. I don't "settle" for free if it does the job in a half-assed manner. One thing I cannot stand is settling for "good enough", which is why I am where I am at in my career.
