I understand both sides of the argument. There’s definitely no denying that Phill and his crew have made a huge effort to deliver entertaining and fun events and that they absolutely deserve a little compensation for it. I think Gus’s coming more from a “form follows function” angle, and I agree to a part there.

Too bad Blossom didn’t make it…

All of the developers who participated in MacHeist did so willingly and knew all the terms of the agreement.

Even if some of the developers “lose” money on this, it’s a loss leader since they will surely get more exposure and a larger subscriber-base than they would otherwise.

All of the participating developers agreed to the terms. Five thousand dollars and the opportunity to expose your software to thousands of new people is nothing to sneeze at. If people use the software and are pleased, they will upgrade when new versions come out and/or check out a developer's other offerings. Sure, the Macheist organizers will take the lion's share of the profit. They put a lot of work into it. It was an original marketing idea, they deserve the reward. And how anyone can complain about MyDreamApp is beyond me. That was a really cool attempt to design software via community input. I will be there with cash in hand when two of the three winning apps are ready.</p> I don’t really buy Gus’s argument. All of the participating developers agreed to the terms.

But, there’s a huge discussion going on in the Mac (shareware) community, if MacHeist, MyDreamApp, MacZOT! or anything coming from the vicinity of the one mastermind that is Phill Ryu, is a good thing or not, if the devs actually profit from it.
