Isn’t that true of all things you purchase?
- falcor84 6y agoWell, I suppose not for consumables like food or fuel.
- madeofpalk 6y agoOkay so I'm glad we've agreed that single-use food items shouldn't be a subscription...
- evrydayhustling 6y agoMost non-consumables can be rented (and frequently are) just for this reason. We buy things when our use expends or transforms the product (e.g. a house) so that we don't have to coordinate with the owner. It's nice to be able to buy outright (or download free!) things that we want to maintain, but most software doesn't fit that for most people.
