New Software Announcement – Smart Buddy,the universal poker buddy list

[Dazarath]

This software looks like it could possibly be amazing. I'm still going to wait until some other people try it out before I do, though. The RBCalc incident still lingers in my mind.

For those of you complaining about the price, I don't understand why. I personally see more of a move towards subscription fees rather than single purchase products for poker software. So many people complain about product X not getting many major improvements, but you can't expect a developer to keep working their ass off if you're only paying for it once.

With a monthly subscription fee, we now have more voting power in regards to what gets added to the product, and the developer has incentive to meet our demands. Plus, many of us are making, what? Anywhere from $20 to a few $100 an hour. Paying $3-4/month to increase our average hourly rate by even $1 (it will likely be much more) is a great deal.
