When Larry Ellison comes on here selling his brand of MPA/Nats/Exec Stats then pull out your credit card. Until then you will do well with any of them.

This is the problem with adult. Its allways a balancing act. When people ask the price of our VOD software and we tell them that our starting price is 60K, 90% of them walk away saying they can find some thing for less or they will build it them self and I say fine. Never tried to win clients over price.
Granted over the past 4 years our software has not been bug free, but by charging a hire price we can give far more help and hand holding. No wonder out of the top 10 VOD sites 9 of them use our software. Also this pays the bills for having all most 30 full time developers.
What we have learend is that when a customer has issues...take care of it ASAP, this makes the client happy and it does not end up like this.
Developing complex software is hard and Adult is one of the most competive market so you are forced to add so many functions and forced to charge less to be competitive. I have been a software eng for all most 15 years and I feel sorry for the NATS guys, we have an excellent relationship with them.
