- boobsbr 3y agoNo, it's a result of them wanting a steady revenue stream. Why sell software when you can rent it out?
- fecal_henge 3y agoYou think they will allow sub lets?
- johnny99k 3y agoIt's both. I was part of many conversations starting around ~2005 or so where business owners wanted to convert to a subscription model to prevent piracy. You see it everywhere now.
- fecal_henge 3y agoSurely it's that they would rather have steady income by the month rather than an unpredictable glut that follows the release? I was part of that piracy wave, but now think things should get paid for.
