Sour grapes. Atleast windows tablet will support flash, multi-tasking and many other features that apple failed to do so. This shout goes to you Mr.chris pirilio for making pro-apple comments without realizing the expensive hoopla behind it. 
It would be nice to find an alternative approach that wasn't so annoying to people but still achieved the goal of having some way to make people not choose the path of least resistance of not donating.Humble Indie bundle is one good promotion theme that is running these days to raise the funds for developers. I don't know what will happen to this promotion method if it gets saturated.
Authors have agents. Rock stars have labels. Movie stars have guilds.It is very rare to have honest middle man that leads to win-win situation. Take example of leecher sites - they're ripping off freeware authors by hosting their files on servers with the excuse of promotion. Another example, appsumo which is borderline scam when it comes to app marketing. They're playing all scarcity tricks and popular internet marketing punches to sell software and other publisher or developer niche content. Some of the books and apps featured in appsumo mails are overly priced and don't deserve the label of discount or limited time (classic scarcity). Fair to users ? No. Then there is a marketplace called codecanyon and their niche based envato marketplaces where royalty percentage is 30-65%. Is it fair to software producer ? No. But if you need money for your hardwork then you have to compromise on some levels. It's really hard to price content by keeping balance of market demand and developers hard work. So app market or stock marketplaces are not always rewarding and consistent cashflow to developers.
Why not indy software developers?
e.g. Alternative Screenshot Captor download from an external server (availability not guaranteed by Softonic)This bolded part is traffic leak and it's like discouraging users to go to developers website.
The program you want to download will be downloaded through the Softonic Downloader, making the download process much faster, showing a progress bar and ensuring the program is virus-free..
First, the Softonic Downloader will be downloaded, and through it you'll be able to download the main program. During the download process we show commercial offers, such as the Softonic Toolbar
I've been thinking- I think there are a couple other people on DC who have extra games on Steam (I know I do)- maybe we should put together a giveaway (or contest) especially for Steam games? Just a thought...+1-wraith808 (August 28, 2011, 08:23 AM)
