Great point.

Now, are they using this as an excuse to not provide a Windows version?

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Not specifically. It sounds like they're not really interested in maintaining a Windows version, so for that they charge. Generally I think people should be compensated for their labor, even though that might be an unpopular opinion in this community.

So, why even mention apple if you're going to justify the developer's actions anyways?

I'm going to go back to blaming the devs now. Nice try defending the people taking money from you. They're banking on your low standards.

They’re banking on your low standards.

Yeah this is unfortunately common, and many people are quick to defend developers like that making excuses.
