I understand the need for recurring revenue especially for things that offer cloud services. But I also would like to get off the cloud where possible. I like hybrid subscription models. Where I pay monthly for support and updates and once I've paid off the price of a version I could stop paying and just not get any additional features, support, ect. I'd even be okay if this strips back a few features. I think Jetbrains offers something like this? The thing I don't like about subscription models is that it makes it restrictive for who can use certain tools. I love messing around with the Adobe Suite for fun, I use it in a professional setting maybe once every couple of months. I can't justify the almost $1000 a year price tag. I would love to be able to give adobe money. I would love to use their product. I just can't justify it as a non-pro user.
