You picked a bad example. Yes, you need to purchase Logix X for 199, but you probably won&#x27;t need to pay for any Logic updates in the foreseeable future. While the lack of update pricing is a problem for many developers, it&#x27;s also a feature of Apple&#x27;s software. They usually simply don&#x27;t do priced updates. As far as I remember the upgrade from Logic 9 to X was free on the App Store.<p>Furthermore the full price of 199 could very well be mistaken for an upgrade offer - it&#x27;s a very reasonable price.
