I'm sort of pissed, as I bought Logic (a personal copy, used to use ones at school when I attended) about six months ago. Spending another $200 now, despite really liking the new features, sucks--I'm an amateur, that double-dip hurts my hobby funds.
Yep, it seems like this is Apple's "solution" to the Mac App Store not providing any discounts to previous purchasers. They did the same on several other products, reducing their prices dramatically when they went to the MAS.
I'm one of them. I started with Logic 5 (from Emagic), and keep throwing money at upgrades every time a new version comes out. Where's the reward for my loyalty? Oh, and thanks for dropping 32-bit plug-in support.
Perhaps, though as someone who bought Logic 9 less than a month ago (there being no hint at all that a new version was anywhere on the horizon), it still burns.
