But that's not how the subscription pricing goes. Final Cut Pro X was $299, not $999 so it's not even a good example. One the other end of the spectrum are all the mobile apps that start as a $2.99 one time purchase, add a bunch of features, and say "Actually it'll be $11.99/year forever thanks." When every app starts to do that it adds up fast.
