In terms of acquisition value, the codebase ranks dead last behind talent, product, engaged users, company brand, patents and just about everything else. Even very successful products are almost always rewritten when acquired by a larger co

~$10/month is still ridiculously cheap for what they offer. One single show in their catalog you like will probably make it worth it. They can still raise prices by a LOT before people stop being interested.
