JetBrains used to have a better model where you paid and got 1 year of updates; then they tried to switch to subscription-only model and upset their individual users (though businesses loved it). After backslash they decided to do a hybrid - you pay yearly/monthly fee, have updates but once you stop you have to go back to the version you used a year ago. I am sure they'll try to phase this out at some point as well.
