I’ve waffled on what I think about bundled software like that being offered at MacHeist at a steep discount. My latest ramblings have been supportive of it. As a consumer, it’s great to get lots of stuff for just a little amount of money. Will I use everything in the bundle? Unlikely. However, I’ve used some of the programs I’ve bought here and there. For the most part, I might use 1 or 2 programs, but just in case I have a use for something else, I know I have it. For instance, today I used GraphicConverter to convert some graphics; I would not have bought GraphicConverter at full price (the awful UI really puts me off).
One person has been ranting about it and basically saying people are cheap for buying it. Well, I bought it (still waiting for them to fix their system as they took my money, but didn’t deliver me anything; they underestimated demand which is surprising considering how well the last 2 have done) and I don’t feel cheap. I see some of the developers gaining a customer that they would never have had. The developers have a chance to sell me an upgrade later and that may just happen.
