It was a month ago, when the sales rep called me, that my subscription is ending, and after repeated calls, and mails, I did not order it again at full price. Like I could convince my managers to spend 1000+ on getting updates for a year. He told me what am I going to miss. The updates, the vault, free pizza every friday... OK, you finished? It is beyond my control.
If they wanted to compete with this orcad pricing, they pretty much would kill circuit studio. Not a huge loss. I could imagine a basic version, which only has SCH capture and PCB. No embedded, no FPGA, no simulation. Nobody uses them anyway.
But would they go below the pricing of their subscription? And modules will cost multiple times the base software???
On the other hand, stranger things have happened. I would even buy it for home at that price.
