Outrageous? $50 to be the backbone of a whole-house audio and video system, controlling multiple zones and devices, it was the cheapest upgrade to my system relative to the features it brings.However, what does really disappoint me is that JRiver will be requiring a separate $50 license for the Mac version, even though I already paid the outrageous $50 for a Windows license -_- Greedy arseholes
There is very little commercial software out there that has a free cross-platform license.It's a hackintosh, not a mac. And yes, I'm happy spending money on ONE computer that runs TWO operating systems. And I would also be happy spending my money on ONE JRiver that supports TWO operating systems. Considering I can install the license on up to 10(?) windows computers, it doesn't make sense that when I boot into OSX on the same computer I need to pay another 50 bucks.
I do think they should consider offering a discount if you already own a license for one version, but they were already selling the Mac version heavily discounted for the last few months.
There has clearly been a lot of development work done to bring the software to OS X, and I think they deserve to be paid for it.
But you have already demonstrated that you don't think companies deserve to be paid for their work by building a "hackintosh" to begin with.
