Sure, I think the OP was talking about people who earn the price of this tool in an hour or two, not people who aren't even working.

Software pricing is a very strange beast. It seems to vary so widely, with not always a very obvious price/quality connection. And over time, it doesn't seem to follow any reasonable expectation; I paid £65 for a game 25 years ago, which would be over £90 in today's money.

Uhm... Usually I'm buying games on steam for 5-15 euros. There is a lot cheap special offers...

They are cheap for a reason, steam is popular so lot of people will buy the game at that price point. The creator of this software will see a one time bump because of HN but I doubt he will get a steady stream of income at least initially.

In the end everyone has to put food on the table.

What has that got to do with anything? If I see a game I want on Steam and I want it now, should I not buy it because it's not part of a sale?
