oreillynet.com — "I don’t think [the MacHeist guys] will get terribly rich. They may make some serious money on the Heist, but certainly not nearly as much as to make us jealous or feel ripped off. And you can’t say that they did not work hard to get their share. I know people who worked much less for a lot more profit."

I can't see what's wrong on _trying_ a different marketing approach for a change. It's not as if they were playing with a multi-billion dollar market here. If it doesn't work, oh well, everyone get back to their usual models, people forget about this whole bundle thing in 6 months internet-time (i.e, 5 days) and life goes on.Both the guy from FotoMagico and the one from Delicious Library said that their sales kept the same average this week, so people who is buying this bundle probably wouldn't buy those products separatedly anyway (myself included), so I think this fact alone pretty much kills any argument against the initiative.

I think you misunderstood him. Most indie Mac developers are usually bought over by Apple etc. when they grow to a certain limit (50 employees, for example).

RealMac Software's opinion:<a class="user" href="http://www.realmacsoftware.com/blog/files/macheist_hate.php">http://www.realmacsoftware.com/blog/files/macheist_hate.php</a>(They make RapidWeaver, one of the apps in the MacHeist bundle)What do they think? MacHeist is good for everyone involved, and their sales have increased
