Don’t tell me your highest revenue package is your “Most Popular”. I don’t believe you and straight away we have brand damage. I suspect you posted that there to try to get me to purchase the top package and not because it’s actually your “most popular”. So where does that leave us? If I can’t trust you to be honest with me in your marketing, how can I trust you to build and support great software?
