That would be nice. Saw a 15 or 20 dollar charge for those of us 60 or older.
Or for that matter, a discount for the disabled, which I would also qualify for.

I am a semi retired senior and IMHO after examining many others that try to do the same this software would a bargain at 3 X the current price.
+1.
At 66 I guess I qualify, but truth is, I find the pricing so reasonable I wouldn’t support a discount for us old farts.
Ask me when I’m 75 and finally give up working
Scrivener is very high value for the price. And because it is so reasonable no one bothers to pirate it. Whereas high price software (think Adobe CC) is the constant target of pirates. Adobe created Creative Cloud in an effort to thwart pirates but CC was cracked within one week of its release. Adobe has to spend so much time, money and effort dealing with Pirates, a headache that L&L doesn’t have to bother with. Scrivener is so good at what it does that L&L should have a place for accepting donations. I would gladly donate, even after having paid for it. Just to make sure they stay in business. That is how much I like this software.
When do you become so “senior” that you need a discount? I have a colleague who turns 80 this year and he is still actively doing field research in tropical rain forests. But I have other colleagues who essentially stopped being productive before they reached 60. The official age of compulsory retirement (well, more or less compulsory) in Sweden is 67. So should you get a discount because you choose to retire before 67?
Bottom line: Scrivener gives the senior citizens a brilliant opportunity to be productive long after retirement and possibly earn some money on their writing efforts.
I agree.
My preceptor was productive on his deathbed and actively dictating his books up to his death. He never retired. He was productive till his last breath. 8)
Maybe a discount for those that aren’t very good authors and thus unlikely to make much profit from their writing?
People could be asked to provide statistics from their book sales and if those are below a certain level L&L could, retroactively, give a refund for the unsuccessful.
I think you were joking, but there are people who use Scrivener to write things that are not intended to be commercial.
We don’t ask hammer makers to provide discounts if you haven’t built a specific number of houses during a given year.
Maybe we just thank L&L for pricing their software as they have instead of at a price point three or four times as expensive, as they easily could do (and would be justified in doing given the feature set and support).
