[quote user="Yasmin Stephen"] [quote user="Fredc"] All I want for Christmas is for this thread to end. [/quote] You and me both. (You'd think I'd stop reading it though .. [/quote] It looks like someone is headed for a "Blue Christmas."

[quote user="Bruce Dunning"]I hope that the above has answered your questions which have also been addressed a number of times over the years. F[/quote] Thanks for your insights. Each year brings new challenges. Besides, It good to hear what we know to be so. Children and wives like to hear "I love you" not that anything has changed--Just a re-affirmation

[quote user="Dan Francis"]I have no idea if an IPO would ever come nor do I have any significant notion about the financial health of FL. But Bob's explanation seemed sound and indicated to me cash flow for payment of royalties was leaving FL occasionally cash poor for the payments... And like it had been said earlier if the worst ever happened without

[quote user="Mark Barnes"]Logos only develops things it knows it can sell (the Pre-Pub and Community Pricing schemes are the best example of this). If no-one buys it, it doesn't get developed at all. That's often a great model, but it occasionally fails because sometimes we don't know we want things until we have them. Logos Now is great for those scenarios

I saw remarks on a recent thread in reference to Faithlife financial situation. I and others are considering investing more in the Logos Bible Software Product. Is Faithlife financially sound? I am not asking just to be mean or to alarm anyone unduly, but to give this matter a proper airing . No one wants to come aboard a sinking ship. This inquiry

Logos Users, If one is considering investing in the top level of Logos Bible Software, very soon, what hardware would you recommend? Please be specific as possible. The more details the better. Please tell me what equipments are good, better and best? Any not technical examples will be helpful. If this information existed somewhere, indulge me with

[quote user="Disciple of Christ (doc)"] Still have not received an email about this....as usual Logos dribbles out half baked information to some users and not others who only find out about this stuff if they happen to stumble upon it on the forums. Can we please get this properly communicated to all users currently on a payment plan and not just to

[quote user="Bob Pritchett"]In a perfect world, we'd share with them on a pure 'percentage of revenue' model, which would let us sell more products by subscription, rent-to-own, payment plans, and other models. But they have their own contracts, some of which date back decades, with authors, and are understandably reluctant to go renegotiate terms.
-
[quote user="David Paul"] The changes Bob has implemented will solve a subset of problems going forward, but I suspect it will generate a far worse problem as a consequence...a drastic drop in sales. If the publishers are the mindless bureaucrats I take them for, then that will likely be the way of the world for the forseeable future. But maybe, just

[quote user="George Somsel"]I'm right. [/quote] You have been heard. Some may question that truth begins and end with you. Truth, doesn't need defending, it needs witnesses. “All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” [quote user="George Somsel"]End of discussion.[/quote] “Let every man judge according

[quote user="Mark Barnes"]But the point I was making was that Logos would find it difficult to sell items in (1) because that would look like a broken promise, and won't want to sell items in (3) because there will be ongoing costs for them. History suggests that they won't want to see those things under (2) because they'll want to bundle them into

[quote user="George Somsel"] (1) Where is your compassion? Do you think that young people should be frozen out of the labor market because they lack the requisite skills to be worth paying a higher salary? Do you not know that when you raise the price of producing products or services that the cost to the end-user increases? Now that a hamburger costs

[quote user="George Somsel"]Today even the cheapest burger (Dollar Menu) costs several times what it did then. That's simply a part of ($15 to flip burgers? Are these people crazy? It's a beginner's job not intended to support a family). [/quote] Let me say before the self appointed Forum monitor/police shows up: George, Where is your compassion? You

[quote user="James Hudson"] [quote user="Bob Pritchett"](Serious question: Would you 'I have to own it' fans be okay if ownership really was completely transactional? You buy it, you get it as it is that moment. We disable server features, give 30 days tech support and then start charging $10/call, and you don't get feature upgrades or OS-related improvements

[quote user="GregW"]Maybe so, but these "true feelings and expressions" are often counter-productively expressed in the form of character attacks, name-calling, accusations of greed, etc.[/quote] You have a valid point. However, well trained and qualified customer service people know how to look beyond the "often counter-productively expressed in the

[quote user="John Goodman"]Why not have a 'build your own base package'? It could be that if a user adds $150 of product to the cart it unlocks bronze features $300 then silver features and $450 gold features etc. Or keep it simple and discount the minimal crossgrade if bought with $300 worth of books.[/quote] You're on to something. I hope Bob takes

[quote user="Phil Gons (Faithlife)"][quote user="James Hudson"]Yes LN is a supplement. However it IS still rented i.e. if payment ceases you loose the supplementary features (regardless of how much you have spent in rent over the years). You have to 'keep up monthly payments' to keep the features - thus it IS renting! (Well, that's my understanding

[quote user="Ron"]It is highly unreasonable to expect to pay once and have all the back-end features work in perpetuity without a continued revenue stream to support those back-end features.[/quote] What you have seen are the true feelings and expressions of people on the consumer's end. Faithlife, if not you, should take these remarks into consideration
