I am just a wee bit furious (that's an understatement) that I paid twice as much as Logic and Mainstage are currently selling for (and even more for the previous versions of the software). MainStage 2.2 has been out for some time. But what about professionals? Oh, right, I'm sure Apple is going to take care of us with Logic 10, and by that, I mean they'll just target youtubers who think it's hilarious to re-live that scene from Freddy got Fingered ("Daddy want a sausage?") on their $50 M-Audio keyboards. How is anyone supposed to invest in a platform that treats it's users like this? I know the idiot masses will, because they don't know any better. I don't give a flying **** about the Mac App Store, but apparently Apple does enough to try and penny/nickel me to death all because they don't give a **** about the users who paid for the boxed version of their software, and offer no suitable upgrade path to the MAS versions. I don't have time for this crap, I bought into Apple because the platform was stable and reliable. However, if Apple is going to nail me $30 (for Mainstage, or even $200 for Logic Pro) for MINOR upgrades that fix CRITICAL bugs, then **** this ****. I really don't mind paying for major updates. Let me guess, when Logic 9.2 hits, I'll have to pay another TWO HUNDRED ($200) dollars just to get THAT upgrade as well? MainStage "2.2" is a PAID UPGRADE for users who spent $500 for the boxed copy?įIVE HUNDRED dollars, and because there's no easy way to upgrade stuff that wasn't purchased through the App Store (that is, Apple is too lazy to implement a system where you can buy the MAS version of an app for free if you already own it externally)- I have to pay another $30 for something I ALREADY OWN just to get a minor version bump, and other critical bug fixes?
