TBH, the rest of the world will just pirate, and if they make a good income eventually that is more the international standard, they can buy with their own cash. I don't think sublime has top of the line DRM.
I live in India, and I find the price a bit too high. But that does not mean I will pirate the app. I will use other free alternatives until I can afford the program I want to use. So, asking Sublime to reduce the price to cater to people like me is a valid request, IMO.
Sublime can be downloaded for free though. It just bugs you every few days asking if you would mind paying. That’s my situation now. I’d love to through some cash their way since it’s a great product, but it’s just a bit too steep.
Seems ignorant of currency-free or low-currency lifestyles, barter culture, gift culture, volunteerism, etc.
