You can never trust them as they may still just choose to implement it somewhere in the future.
The thing is: Capitalism demands perpetual (growing) growth. Pay-per-download would have helped tremendously with this.
I don’t believe pay-per-download is dead.
Money isn’t free anymore, but companies are desperate for growth. Inflation is currently caused by companies issuing significant price hikes to appease shareholders. I expect more pay-per-download-style shenanigans from other companies or outrageous price hikes going forward, to sustain growth.
- mordae 3y agoThat's OK. Capitalism demands growth, but infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible. As the attempts to extract value at all (especially reputational) costs ramp up, reputation of the whole system is going to crumble. People are going to look into alternatives then. Godot and Blender.

Pay-per-download would have helped tremendously with this. Disagree. The market provided a strong answer in the form of: "No, we hate this model and will literally do extra work (switch game engines) to avoid it".
