I always buy directly from the developer if the price is the same.
if the price is the same!
I always buy directly from the developer if the price is the same.
Okay, here's what I mean:Cory, you're losing me man. On one hand you say that consumers should buy directly from the developer, and on the other, you say we have the right to take advantage of a good deal.
Yes, if the price is the same. That's exactly what I said in regards to general library buying on any given day when the price is the same.if the price is the same!
I don't have a problem with that, except you keep telling me that I got lucky, like I should be feeling some sort of guilt or something. Or am i reading too deep into this?Okay, here's what I mean:
Normally 3rd party prices and developer prices are the same. When that is the case, always support the developer.
When there's a flash sale, and you can get it for cheap, why not take advantage of that.
In this case, T+S has incorrectly voided the VAT, so the deal isn't legitimate and will be taken down very soon - you got in just before that, so you're lucky.

You did get lucky! That doesn't mean you have to feel guilty, it's just something that rarely happens and you happened to catch it out of a bunch of people who didn't. You haven't cost Strezov any money - they'll be reimbursed out of TS's pocket, which is their fault for making the mistake in the first place.I don't have a problem with that, except you keep telling me that I got lucky, like I should be feeling some sort of guilt or something.

Uh-Oh... That means it was premeditated... This is not good.no errors! they say "save up to 19%"

Thanks, and will do! Ironically, the whole time I was thinking, "Man, if that exchange rate wasn't there...", so I guess it strangely worked out.You shouldn't!

Thanks for clarifying.You did get lucky! That doesn't mean you have to feel guilty, it's just something that rarely happens and you happened to catch it out of a bunch of people who didn't.

Yeah pretty much.
Not exactly sure what the opening of that comment was getting at, but I've made it pretty clear on this thread that buying from the developer is best when the price is the same, unless you're a new customer perusing TS for example, while getting a good deal when it's available is recommended. TS has done wrong by Strezov this time and the sale has been removed as of 10 minutes ago.Marketing makes up a major part of many top, legitimate company budgets.
Each company chooses how much to impact their total costs with their Marketing commitment..
I am more than a bit put-off by posts here from one gaining my increasing respect and trust.
There seems to be notable misunderstanding about the role and proper compensation for source creators/providers and their choices of marketing outlets.
Bottom line … for me … this library is not even close to being an essential addition. To save 'real' dollars with T+S has almost pushed me over the top.
If arguments here suggest that I am just one step away from 'pirated' software, then I can easily pass on T+S offer and not purchase until much later.
Baarrff !
I lament the days when the Australian dollar was stronger than the American dollar... and I could buy CDs for 3 bucks.
