  • @northern_kind
    @northern_kind 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a product manager of a software product, pricing something is a detailed strategy of balancing perceived value, experience, return on investment and features. For example, if you buy an iPad, you won't pay for an app that costs nearly as much as the device. So there is a limit to what you will pay. If you buy a laptop, the most you will spend is about a 1/3 of the cost (maximum) for a piece of software, but for an iPad, essentially a computer ( a laptop in different clothes) you'll probably put a limit of £50 on an app, so this is the perceived value. Regardless of the product, it's just how we place value on something.
    This is a bit of software running on a dedicated piece of hardware, they could deploy this software on an iPad, which ultimately is future-proofed, as the hardware is upgradeable. But of course, you wouldn't pay $2k for it, you probably wouldn't pay $50 for it. So fair play to them.
    But in reality, this is like the emperor's new clothes.

    • @timc3
      @timc3 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Spending a fraction of the cost of the device it runs on doesn’t make sense. You said it correctly in your opening statement: price can be based on perceived value and ROI. There is plenty of software out there that costs multiples of the machine it runs on and businesses are happy to pay because of the ROI they get.

    For those whining about price
    The OP-1 came out in 2011. It was Teenage Engineering's first synth and is the long runing flagship of the company. The original OP-1 has held and even gained value a few times If anything over those years as some synths do usualy because supply/demand . People also whined about the price of it when it launched compared to other gear. That's part of the reason Teenage Engineering also offered so many affordable pocket synths packed with features and power so everyone can have fun on any budget. The economy is at a different place now however, electronic components cost more, services and fees are more, inflation hits everything and a small synth company is no more immune to it than anyone else. People wanted a new OP-1 flagship and here it is. like the OP-1, I suspect the Field will hold its value and maintain its status as the new flagship for Teenage Engineering for years to come and the same group that were salty at the price of the first one and this one will always be salty and never satisfied.
    P.S. original OP price increase in 2018-19 when the company was considering ceasing production was due to Amoled display needing new maker, it's new sourcing and the currency conversion for it, recoding of the new screen display, a redesign for its mounting so new component would fit, new tooling, etc. Now imagine that among other things while designing a new synth during a global shortage of components and pandemic and its not hard to understand how and why the price is where it's at for it. Teenage Engineering is still a relatively small company and doesn't have some of the sources or contracts available like other larger companies out there that can allow them to release things for less. If you managed to make it this far congrats you now know more about the reason for the new price than 99% of people out there currently seething at a product they didn't buy the first time around
