Going on what Josh said I've always wondered why BRL never advertise or sell their software a high prices.
Take other 3D Engines and Programming Languages (Torque, Real Basic etc.) which have different pricing models for indies and commercial developers. These, even though priced high still sell like hot cakes.
I'm wondering if the price of BlitzMax, Max-GUI etc. puts people off by making them think this is something cheap and a toy like. I'm just thinking that if BlitzMax were priced at $150 or more for indies and a seperate license and price for non indies then it may attract a lot more people.
Sometimes selling for cheap backfires and I consider $80 for BlitzMax on the very Cheap side. But then that's just me. I paid $500 for TV3D and would gladly pay $500 for Max3D if it was any good.
