I have zero issue with a one-time payment, and have no problem justifying paying for major version updates. But a subscription just because?? Sorry, no. IMO that’s Adobe-level scummy.
I know you need a revenue stream. But the only justification I can accept for a subscription is a compelling online component that has out-of-pocket costs for you, directly. Even if there is a profit margin involved..
It’s why I pay Bitwarden for family syncing of passwords, and Sophos for the dashboard that can let me monitor up to 10 machines across the family, and Apple for that data insurance package they call iCloud that can cover up to 6 family members. These all have compelling online components that cost the provider serious money and which need ongoing revenue to cover.
And no, AI is not “compelling” in the least.
