This is a discussion about AppStore monetisation using OmniFocus as an example.
The original claim that upgrade pricing is a scam can be trivially disproved. My claim is that coming up with an appropriate upgrade strategy is easy to get wrong and customers can still feel that these upgrade prices are unjustified, which does pose a problem for the company making the products and for this method of monetisation too.
What I will do doesn't really matter, but it's reasonable to assume I'm not alone in thinking like this.
