    Software use to cost this much and much more in the 90s, and often did less (not working with a much of networked api calls, not integrating with a bunch of other platforms, etc) and wasn’t frequently updated.

    It’s 25-30 years later.

    People have lost touch with what paid software costs.

      Developers didn’t have access to mountains of open source code, online tutorials and stack overflow back then either. Compilers, like Turbo C, also used to be paid products.
