They have done 50% on products they are about to discontinue. Which they then release a new version of and the upgrade price works out so that you pay full price if you bought the discount version. There is no winning the price war with Spitfire. Ever since they moved all sales to their own store (no 3rd party retailers) they have had a lot more 30% off sales but rarely do they approach reasonable.

Marc Cormier Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 They did do a one-off sale called "Apex" last year which i used to score Albion Tundra at half price; it was the only product on sale. Not sure I've seen that since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris.r Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Thanks @Matthew Sorrels and @Marc Cormier. Spoiled by Waves and Plugin-alliance $30 price point, the only 30-40% discount of some Spitfire libraries seems quite greedy now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't be silly. Pretty much every company in the virtual instrument/music software business runs the knife edge of bankruptcy on a daily basis. Don't assume every company is rolling in it just because their prices are high and they aren't discounting. When Spitfire quit using the retail channel they pretty much gave up any chance of breaking into the big time in terms of sales numbers. If they are careful, smart and lucky they will manage to pay their staff and partners a decent amount. Just like pretty much every content business it is a lot harder to make it all work than most consumers think. If you see some content (VI/software/movie/book/album) you want it's a good idea to plan to get it soon, because there is a higher than zero percent chance you won't be able to. Lots of books and movies go out of print and become unavailable every day. Software/virtual instruments are all in the same boat. If we are lucky there will be some sort of heads up. I don't think I'd call Spitfire greedy, expensive and overpriced yes, but that's not greedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
