Upgrade Pricing Penalizes Loyal Studio Buyers

August 11, 2005 by K. Edwards

New Retail Studio 8 is $999  But you can buy Fireworks MX for $299 or less, and upgrade for $399.  Meaning there is no reason to ever pay retail.

Worse yet, if you paid for Studio MX previously there is no discount on the upgrade.  Meaning the cost of Studio MX and Studio 8 is twice the cost of Fireworks MX and Studio 8.  This is not a good way to treat loyal Macromedia Users.

There is a petition to ask Macromedia to offer Studio owners a discount.
