It's not in my interest if it costs me more and makes future planning more difficult. The software subscription business is essentially a huge price hike masked by paying in installments. >simply disappearing and being frozen in old versions because of no revenue stream against them. It means that the new features in version X were not good enough to entice new buys or upgrades. Subscription model is great - for the software companies. It's not a good model for consumers. The current subscription model will end up being just like Fifa or Madden games, the same thing every year with minor changes because consumers are locked-in and have no alternative.
