PlayerView/GameTime+ Alternative

[PokerAce]

After a lot of discussion regarding the commercialization of PlayerView, a lot of people have come to the same conclusion:

$50 is way too much for this application.

I completely agree. PlayerView was a great free application. However, it just doesn't cut it as a commercial application costing $50.

There's one alternative we have in GameTime+. GameTime+ is too limited for my use. I have decided that I am going to develop an application similar to PlayerView.

I haven't kept up with the problems/suggestions for features for PlayerView or GameTime+, so I'm asking for anyone who is reading this to give me features that you would like to see. I can't promise I will add every feature, but each one will be considered.

I haven't decided if I will charge for this application or not. If I do, it will very likely be $20 or less. If it's not too feature rich, I may release it as freeware.

If nothing else, the competition will force PlayerView to improve to the point where it's worth the $50 pricetag.

Thought? Comments? Discuss.

As for motivation, once trials and/or a decent working version has come out, I will be donating to this effort, as I hope other 2+2ers who think $50 is outrageous will also do.

One very cool thing in PV that GT+ doesn't have (as far as I can tell) is the hands that people where holding last round (can be read in directly from the HH files). This should be easy to add on and is the only reason I would even consider getting PV over GT+...

[DarkKnight]

What is the over/under on the time that the OP to realize that the amount of work required makes $50 for PV seem like a good deal?

$20 would be reasonable compensation. $50 is outrageous, especially when Gametime+ is available for free.

Oh give me a [censored] break. You use the term "greedy" like it's a bad thing.

He has a product that people want and are willing to pay money for. It would be silly not to charge money at for it.

Personally, I disagree with the price, but simply because it is not worth $50 to me, I use GT+ anyway. But to suggest that Amir's greed in this matter is a bad thing is absurd. He has every right to extract every damn penny he can from this.
