You mean support contracts, like RedHat?
This only works for certain software where that’s a suitable revenue model.
How would that work for, say, AAA games, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make and require little-to-no support after they’re released?

"I will pay you X to do Y", where Y could be to write some software to do something. > How would that work for, say, AAA games, which cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make and require little-to-no support after they’re released? It wouldn't. I also think the state of AAA games is awful, and we shouldn't strive to support that model.
