I have no problem paying for quality software and I have paid for many apps from the OS X App Store but I find it highly misleading when your launch page uses the word "Download" when it really means "Buy". I've seen this tactic used on quite a few OS X/iOS apps posted it HN. No mention of price anywhere on the page and all wording is careful to say "download", "go get", "click here for X app". I don't appreciate being, at the least, kept in the dark and, at the worst, being subject to a dark pattern designed to hook me on the idea of something before showing me the price. Before I look hard into any *aaS, app, etc I look at the pricing so I don't fall in love with something that is unreasonably priced, out of my price range, or just not in line with what my needs are. I don't like having to click through to the iTunes page to see the price because your page was specifically designed to hide it from me.
Does anyone else share this sentiment?
