So if instead of $100/yr they had raised the price to $500 but you "own" the software, you would have been okay with that?

- mgkimsal 11y ago$100-$500 is a bit much, but I'd have been happy with some increase (10%? 15%?). A modest increase, with a discount for moving to a subscription model (like they're trying to do) would have appealed to all camps, imo. Professionals recognize these are good tools, and want to support them, but not necessarily in a 'one size fits all' SaaS model. Instead of $199 intellij ultimate license, saying "Buy a perpetual license for $229, or a SaaS model for $149/year"... I would probably still opt for perpetual (at least some of their products), but having the option is important, imo.
