Another price hike incoming?

“For a limited time, we’re reducing the price of Sublime Text from $99 USD to $80 USD” https://www.sublimehq.com/store/text

I’m not sure if that’s greed or simply a bad decision, considering that you are in the market saturated with text editors that are catching up and are also 100% free and/or open-source. You can’t possibly expect most of your users to pay that much? I bought the license after ST4 was released (at $80) as a thank you for all the years I’ve used ST, but $100 feels like a lot.

($80 was the price before May 21, i.e, the day the ST4 was released)

I didn’t realize there was a corresponding change in license policy, which now makes it much more reasonable. Complaint dismissed

There will also supposedly be more/faster updates. The old business model doesn’t work in these modern times.
