High prices are the center of the cycle of piracy on other platforms. Joe can't spend $600 for a word processor so he steals it. Big Bad Company knows this so they charge a lot extra to cover the theft caused by Joe who says such a high price is ridiculous. Charging high prices is done to offset the expected theft of the product. On some platforms $600 for a spread sheet is considered silly. On this platform $100 for a file utility is absurd. –Paul
