charging for a BETA? WTF!

Feedback Type:  Commentary

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Have Not Tried

Recommend Product: NO

I really dislike this trend of developers charging users to try out a beta version of their creations. What's worse is the few who then charge an "upgrade fee" if you want to upgrade from the 0.9.x beta version to the 1.0 version, taking lessons from the biggest scammer of all time: Microsloth.

To the developer of Meno*: When it's ready for release, then charge us. In the meantime, as an earlier poster noted, you ought to be paying the beta testers. You ought to be glad that people download and check it out without holding a tin cup out hoping for a few pennies to satisfy your avarice.

*Yep, I spelled it "meno" as in meno-pause. As in mean ol' greedy developer.
