So, how is 3k for a devkit too much?
I bet they wrote this news on a 2.5k MacBook pro.

I mean that is about 2 weeks / half a month of salary for the developer who is actually working on it.

Sure.  No prob.  While you're at it, go right ahead and get you a dev kit or four.  Give them away as Christmas gifts.  That's what I plan to do.

So if you own an indie studio, a small one with 10 developers working for you and Each developer makes about 60-70k per year. You really have no reason to complain about a 3k devkit. Sometimes investments are necessary and 30k to equip every developer in your company with a devkit is not too much to ask for.

And why should I get the devkit? I am not a developer and don't run a business.
