Talking prices is kind of useless.

The MorphOSTeam defines the amount of money it takes to register and the user deceides to pay or not to pay. End of story.

In fact thats how it works for all products. e.g. Apple is selling their ipads for around 800 euro, while other companies are selling tabletts with the same size for far less. Well, people buy their ipads as they want them and they think the product is worth the price.

Of course apple could reduce prices by 40-50% to increase the number of sales, but - well - they don´ t want their product compete/handled as cheap. Their decision. And since a product sales well, the price is not to high.

Same goes for MorphOS. The OS contains many hours of work of multiple developers. There is no reason to reduce prices. Most "classic" NG (peg1+2,efika,mini) hardware or hardware which the Team did not expect much sales from, is already handled at reduced price.

e.g. the Sam460. No clue how many sam460 licences were sold, but I guess not even close to 10 by now, even so people wanted "hardware supported that is actually for sale with proper warranty". A wish the MorphOS Team fullfilled even with a reduced price, which at the end was not worth it, as the developing was for sure more expensive than the 500 euro gained if 10 licences where actually sold.
