They sell more of them if priced them decent.  I'd love to try out the Orca C cross development stuff, but at over $100?  Fuck that.  I can download Aztec C, program via a emulator for free.

I wonder exactly how much money they are making off a product that may or may not get shipped, when it's so expensive, on a dying platform?

I'm not saying people shouldn't get paid, I'm saying the 80's and 90's are over, we are into 2013 now, get with it.   No one pays that much of old software, not for TRS-80's, not for C64, not for Amiga's (excluding the latest versions, not sure wtf they are doing), not for the Sinclairs, not for any old computers.

Actually, the defense of this doesn't surprise me.  It's seems this community likes getting ripped off based on how many people will throw money down on preorders of anyone who says they have Apple II cards for sale, many accelerators.  And you want to defend a person/company who doesn't ship on time, if at all, and charges some horrible prices on old software.
