In my opinion the core problem is not the addon prices or the support of those addons. No matter if you charge 10 $ for an addon or 100 $ addon.
You are supposed to get the money by selling a bulk of that. THAT's how you are supposed to make profit. See it like app transactions. All the apps charge small amount of money like cents or couple of dollars yet they make a ton of money. Because there is a huge userbase.
So the core problem is the shrinking userbase on XF. This forum was filled with people in 2010-2013 and it declined so much. Now in 2021 I see the same 30 users every day. Where are all the people? What did XF do to prevent this? I think more than before all old vB forums switch over to XF yet we don't see much activity on here. Why? I see a dead resources section for 1-2 years now. Same couple of devs releasing some stuff and even them don't do that anymore. And now TH semi-leaves, too. XF just doesn't care enough. You all could charge 300 $ for an addon, and it will make no difference. There are not enough people to buy stuff. But we keep ignoring this. No enthusiasm from XF, no progress, no new campaigns, no ads. I want that XF thrives more and more yet it is the opposite. I was excited to see Audentio and XF corporating together, thought maybe we'll get some faster and cool progress, yet we see them going away from XF. If this is not concerning, that your biggest 3rd-party vendor is leaving XF, what is? But yeah, the migration business is blooming...
