Name one single private company that sets a lower price because it is “more sensitive to people”, instead of the right price that maximizes the revenue.
And no, if you were in charge of deciding the price of a product that pays you salary you wouldn’t be so sensitive. You’d just follow a rule of the free market.
Why is the license so expensive?

I cannot quote @anon96742573’s statement, so I reply to you.

That is the link of analytical article about companies selling more expensive software and win. I don’t suggest SublimeHQ to increase the price (I hope not! 
)
Adding my opinion, Sublime Text and Merge is on the balanced price tag. Panic’s Nova is $99/year, BBEdit is $59/year. And they are MacOS only. Not that “oh they can buy macs, surely they have more money!”
alas, the world don’t work like that.

Wow talk about out of touch with everyday society, $100 U.S for a text editor?? I mean ok don’t make it free but $100 U.S!!?? How do you justify that? You’ve lost touch & just being greedy.
I mean did I miss something? Has covid affected the price of your text editor? What happened?

To me, the solution would be region-based pricing.
This way, everybody pays their country’s equivalent of $70-90 rather than the US $70-90.

They know how it sells and they have real statistics. I don’t think they don’t know “lowering price” can sell more copies. The reality is they bump the price instead. The reason is not important probably. They know what they are doing.
VSCode doesn’t cost people a cent yet still some people are here, for reasons.
