This is Netflix all over again. You guys should learn that must platform are not charging what you are charging us, which is quite pricy; plus your platform is still lacking in many areas, for example, a sample side menu in ionic leaves most of us wondering how to get it done.
You have not added any new services, you are reducing the amount of apps from 14 to 7, and jacked up the prices at the same time by half. That is pure greed and extortion. Just because you can increase the price because you have a decent platform needed by developers, does not mean you should do it. Platform are becoming ubiquitous, and getting better everyday, while your platform maybe in the forefront, in six month it could become dinosaur.
We members joined, and learned your platform, you cannot change the price on us. The least you could do as good business practice is grandfather current members with all their setting. That is how you are rewarding us! Without us, your platform will simply cease to exist.
That is why we developers love opensources. Control, control, control, we hate! We hate being taken advantage of, especially by another developer who should know better. The software industry is ephemeral, make the right decision before it's too late. Xcode tutorial videos, and courses are well documented too, and new languages like Swift, Go, and may other platforms are right around the corner.
If it's the owner of the platform who is raising the prices, your need to fire him/her. If it's the CEO, your need to fire him/her too. They will drive this platform to the ground.
It's fair warning.
I will be leaving your platform when you raise the prices, and reduces my 15 apps to 7.
Shame on your!
