Most people do not buy something that they have no need of, just because it's cheap. If you do need it, though, there is no obvious impediment to a supplier still selling it at a reduced price. Surely a couple of bucks every now and then would be welcome, even if all it did was pay for the coffee refill in the canteen. Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

If you do "need" it, you are still a P3D user and there is really no reason for the developer to reward you for that by reducing the price, just because there are now newer and more popular flight simulators.

I know you are playing Devil's advocate, but that argument is weak. People are in business to make money. If, by selling software that is not popular any longer, they can make a couple of extra bucks with no extra expense or effort required, then why not? Nobody is being "rewarded". The supplier is making money, (which is why he is in business) and the customer is satisfied. Isn't that the whole point? (The defence rests). Intel i7 6700K @4.3. 32gb Gskill 3200 RAM.

March 3Mar 3 Selling Abandonware is not very ethical and without doubt, will effect your future sales of non-abandonware efforts.....IMO
