Comment 17 for bug 968974

still present while downloading free game 'wakfu' through software center in 13.10 - asked to 'buy' and log into ubuntu one

all my comments are repeats of and agreements to the above; 'purchase' or 'buy' as a button never ever makes sense gramatically in English for obtaining a free product- there should be an 'install' button which is consistent with the rest of the software catalog. if the software catalog is having issues with free as in beer vs free as in speech, that's a shame, because it should be a bastion and showcase for apps that are free in both regards, as well as showing how free as in beer but closed source apps play well with their FOSS friends and alternatives. instead it seems the software center isn't even designed to showcase free, closed-source apps that should be a simple automated install :(

as usual, ubuntu doesn't have enough developers to keep up with 18 month old UX bugs, and the debian core remains usable while the ubuntu user experience looks well intentioned but unmaintained :/ not complaining, just lamenting- I have neither the time nor the experience to contribute more to ubuntu, and I don't expect others to pick up the slack. just making an observation that ubuntu's most polished features tend to appear as if they are perpetual alpha-builds.
