Because they were new versions and they had to sell you on the upgrade.
Presumably one of the advantages of subscriptions is they can make ongoing improvements regularly as opposed to big releases. They release updates now, they just don't have many new features.

- tomnipotent 6y agoBlender is great. I use it myself (3D resin printing). But I've also used similar software I had to pay for, which was much better than Blender overall. Same way Photoshop is better than Gimp, and Windows UI is still better than Gnome/KDE. Sometimes to get great software and experience, you have to pay for it. And that's ok, it doesn't make the free software, like Blender, any less eff'ing awesome.
- tomnipotent 6y ago> they just don't have many new features. The feature cadence over a 2-year period doesn't look any different to me. The only change is you're getting piecemeal changes faster vs. a large number of changes all at once.
