Turns out the "buy once forever" isn't a sustainable business model.
And business' look for a sustainable business model, because it's literally a question of life and death for them.
- mantas 7y agoLooking at how people are pissed at subscription apps, "pay forever" doesn't seem sustainable either. If people ain't paying for newer release (as in old good charge-for-major-upgrades model), maybe that piece software can be considered "done" and it's time to go after another sector?
- xemdetia 7y agoYeah part of me wishes there was a better payoff model for this done, but supported software. I scorn subscriptions often because it often warps into products I don't want so they can justify the payment or force a SaaS that is just waiting to pop and break it.
