No, because the lump sum can't be depended upon, it's unpredictable. Will you have 50 buyers this month or none at all because it's holiday season? Or maybe you'll saturate your market niche. You can't plan anything ahead.
- asdff 4y agoYou can say the same for whether or not you will net a subscriber next month or have cancellations. What I'm saying is that if your license is priced correctly, that revenue the consumer pays up front can go into a fund that exists to perpetually support this software indpendent of having to maintain an appeased subscriber base in perpetuity. It's this idea of having a growing pile of money that exist because of what already happened, versus having constant revenue that must continue to be depended upon indefinitely.
