Why do you guys pay for Poker Tracker?

[Infotainment]

As someone w/ 2 years C# development experience find this topic hilarious...

You could make the money to buy a 2-computer PokerTracker license in about 10 hours @ minimum wage.

To make your own version that does as much as PokerTracker would take hundreds if not > 1000 hours.

You would only "code your own Pokertracker" for the thrill of making your own or with intention of selling it.

Then, yeah, you would have to spend hours updating it from time to time.
