Today the internet has brought me a thread of people on Twitter complaining about PCalc being featured on the Vision Pro store:

@jamesthomson This the app that person makes so…

@ismh I'm not going to take this lying down!

@jamesthomson
I’d take any insult from someone who frequents a Nazi bar as a compliment.

@jamesthomson i love pcalc but it’s hard to disagree with the sentiment of a $10 calculator being a featured app

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@ammarmalik I find it pretty easy! Anyway, if you bought it on iOS, it’s a free app

@jamesthomson that's dumb

@jamesthomson i hope you learned your lesson

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@tvaziri Yes, never look at Twitter.

@jamesthomson I challenge them to name one “launch app” for those other platforms 🙃

@jamesthomson Another reason I've been off Twitter... Love me some VisionPro PCalc!

@jamesthomson “It’s PCalc you philistine! Featuring it is tradition!”

@jamesthomson Jesus, Twitter is such a cesspool.

@jamesthomson sorry my friend.

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@gedeonm Ah, it’s fine - I don’t care about the opinions of people still using Twitter tbh!

ebf,
@ebf@ebf.social avatar

@jamesthomson @gedeonm As you should. And I also bought Vision PCalc :)

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@ebf @gedeonm Thanks :)

@brzz@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson @gedeonm and a paying Twitter user at that... yeesh

fichek,
@fichek@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson I mean, they do have a point about lack of apps. And to an average person that doesn’t know how powerful PCalc is or that you spent over 2 decades perfecting it, bringing it to new platforms and never charging for an upgrade, I imagine it can look crazy when they’re used to everything being 0-0.99 money units 😔

@jamesthomson fwiw PCalc IS must-own in my book, and easily worth the $10

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@zcutlip Thank you!

@jamesthomson What a weird thread, the VR bowling price comparison is particularly funny to me.

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@kern Indeed!

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@jamesthomson being called a “launch title” sounds so official though

danblondell,
@danblondell@masto.nyc avatar

@jamesthomson I was just thinking about this again and I think it could be argued that the reason so many other VR devices have failed is because they’re not hardware anyone would want to use a calculator on

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@danblondell That is also true!

@pixel@social.pixels.pizza avatar

@jamesthomson they’ve obviously never tried your calculator

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@pixel Not at $9.99 - daylight robbery!

fahrni,
@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe avatar

@jamesthomson @pixel Oh, James, you need to make it a $9.99/yr subscription and really drive them insane. 🤣

pixel,
@pixel@social.pixels.pizza avatar

@jamesthomson omg 1.5 Starbucks! Too expensive!

fahrni,
@fahrni@curmudgeon.cafe avatar

@pixel @jamesthomson Heck, Eric, my quad-grande-vanilla-mocha runs almost that much at Starbucks. 😳

@rileytestut@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson you’ve made it! 🤪

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@rileytestut Finally!

@mr_mrak@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson oh my god the replies are such a cesspool

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@mr_mrak Yep!

@jamesthomson Do they know that Hololens didn't have an update in 5 years and likely has been scrapped altogether (nobody knows for sure)

@TheiPhone_Dev@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson I just think this people are the kind of people who don’t want to pay for quality software.

jamesthomson,
@jamesthomson@mastodon.social avatar

@TheiPhone_Dev There is that, yes!

michael8684,
@michael8684@mastodon.social avatar

@jamesthomson @TheiPhone_Dev But think of all the “exposure” you could get by giving it away. That’s got to be worth more than actual money
