Logos Money Grab

Tim Ackley

It seems to me that Logos is quietly (not so quietly anymore) forcing people to move to a subscription base by withholding features from those who have not chosen to go there. I was a long time Quickverse/Wordsearch user, forced to turn to Logos if I didn't want to lose the thousands I had invested, since paid for the additionally pricey version that I now have, only to be inundated with 'subscription' options. Of course I am welcome to stay where I am, they say, but I will certainly not be getting all the new and developing features of the sub option. It seems to me that Logos is a greedy software company under the thin veil of a Christian ministry. Frustrating to see it going in this direction!

First: Why is it that you think Logos is a ministry? It is not a church nor a non-profit organization.

Second: How do you think they have managed to exist and grow these past 30+ years. Have you ever "donated" to their "ministry"?

Third: Since when is it considered "greedy" to make and sell a product for profit. The fact that they do so is a testament to the fact that they are a viable business with a solid customer base.

Fourth: Why do you consider not giving you new features and abilities which you haven't paid for to be "withholding" features? If you go into Starbucks and they don't give you a free coffee, do you consider them to be "withholding" coffee?

Fifth: Why do you think that their asking you to subscribe to their product is "forcing" you? You either think that what they offer is worth the cost or you don't think that. It's called a choice, not coercion.
