good points Alexander.

I’d like to formulate some good thoughts about it right now but the brain isn’t cooperating.

But I will throw in one thing that interest me - look at the prices of mobile apps. $0.99, $1.99, $2.99, $4.99 etc. I guess simplictiy of the apps = low development costs, and with high volume the development of such apps can still be profitable.

I guess for complex desktop programs, the volume is relatively low, and the development can only be profitable if a much higher price is charged. Still, it does make me wonder if developers of complex desktop programs would actually maximize their profits by offering them at much lower prices that would stimulate greater demand.
