Several people believe this to be nothing more than an ad. I say let the democratic process roll on. Ke5crz 06:04, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep It's a fairly big event in the mac community. Ben 08:28, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep It's often referenced when talking about how this concept either positively or negatively influenced the developers. (they got many more customers, but some believe they were cheated on the price). Ij00mini 17:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete Although it's had some media coverage, It doesn't warrant an encyclopedia article - especially when it reads like an advertisement. Seems like shameless self-promotion and still no print references. Keep Article has now been significantly improved. — Wackymacs 18:42, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Very controversial subject, fairly important thing. -Biiaru 23:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Likely some Mac users will hear about it and want to look it up sometime. Tualha (Talk) 12:18, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep. This drew a lot of attention and the article points out multiple views of the events unvolved, positive and negative. The suggestion that this reads like an ad is all but comical when looked at with an open mind. --Blackfyr 06:29, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The first MacHeist bundle was a pretty big deal in the Mac software community. It sold well, and it also created a fair amount of controversy with regard to how the profits were distributed. Also, the site (as far as I know) is planning to offer another similar bundle offer later this year, so the site is still relevant today. It probably should be cleaned up a bit to offer a more neutral point of view, but even as it is, it seems to be less advertisement-like than other articles I've seen.

Comment I cleaned up the article significantly last night. Hopefully the modifications help to alleviate many of the concerns that have been brought up here. Etphonehome 17:46, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
