You guys are ruthless! Please see my earlier comment about different types of customers vs. pricing models. If you are a lean startup, variable pricing can work to your advantage. But it's certainly different than buying from commodity vendors who compete only on price.

I don't think people think that it's objectively too expensive, considering the time it saves for developers.

But without any pricing guidelines published on http://www.viva64.com/en/order/, it could be anywhere between $1k to $100k, and people assume without even asking that they cannot afford it.

I have a hard time differentiating between ruthlessness and contrarianism these days.

You act as if there is a difference. These things mean the same thing.

And what do you mean by "hard time?" How can a temporal concept take on attributes of a physical surface?
