Compared to products like Salesforce, GitHub seems cheap to me. What to you is a fair price and why?
As stated at the end of my comment, a fair price is what they decide to charge. I simply don't like people to try and spin a price increase into a freebie.
I am strongly considering moving to gitlab.
If this is going to be enforced, we'll need to decide between cutting away users from the org or moving to a different platform.
GitHub vs BitBucket was always about :
1) 3rd party integrations ( CircleCI - e.g. ) - sadly bitbucket is behind that.
2) Issue management. Bitbucket's default behavior doesn't support labels or any other way of managing the issues structure.
Now, honestly CircleCI + GitHub for 7$ is just extremely cheap. ( talking solo devs / small teams ).
I slo wonder if charging per user rather than per repo will also discourage the creation of open-source repos from orgs? There's no longer a (reduced) cost benefit after all, even if that was a minor influence compared with the other benefits of open-sourcing your code.
So what makes them think that they can get away with it? There's already decent competitors - GitLab, BitBucket, Azure or you can just host your own git repos - gitlab will even give you a nice Web UI for it. Why do they think that people with stick with github, if we're talking $thousands/year then surely migrating to another git repo provider is worth it?

I'd fire the PR department if they didn't give this a positive spin.
A good marketing department should display things in a positive fashion, but they should also strive to be honest, so they're not loosing credibility.

You mean... you don't like it when the marketing department of a profit-making enterprise does marketing in an attempt to make more profit? I work in a small agency, and our GitHub bill will go down as a result of these changes.

ps. No pricing model will suit every org. The current model based on repo numbers has horrid steps which make no sense. eg. 125to300 private repos = $200to$450 cost. So if you need 126 repos you pay more than twice as much for that extra 1 repo. That makes little sense to me.
