While I'm interested in this game, I just can't with clean concience support this kind of treatement.
The iPad price is making people pretty upset as it is. Can you imagine how upset people would be if the Mac and Windows price dropped without warning too?

No, I can't. Why would they be upset? It's not like they're loosing anything by it. So any negativity would have to stem from childish character. I think that would be the best way to be honest. Make the game PC/Mac only for 6-12 months and sell it for 25$ price then and after that release it on iPad while dropping PC/Mac price to 9,99$. I don't see any problem with this strategy. Especially since people kind of expect game prices to fall after a while. It's only natural.
Of course, I'm simply not a fan of Spiderweb's games. Avadon was the first that caught my attention. If I was a long time fan I would just swallow this bitter pill and buy it. I did something like that a year ago, when Command Ops launched for 80$. It was expnsive, but I was a fan of developer's previous works so I still bought it.
But with Avadon I am not yet a fan, so emotions don't rule my wallet in this case. And I just can't get myself to support developer who discriminates one group of customers so much solely because they dare to play on different platform than iPad.
