> "I gave you $10 for this a decade ago, you have to keep updating it forever for me". I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is that it's wrong to claim it is a "lifetime" purchase - and I dispute your claim that it's the "lifetime of the product". That's obviously what it is, but it isn't what people will assume when they read "lifetime". Since Prompt 3 will inevitably be followed by Prompt 4 which won't be a free upgrade, $100 seems like a lot to pay.

Mind you, if you buy it and it takes them more than 5 years to release Prompt 4 then you'll come out ahead compared to having subscribed. That's even pretty plausible, given that the subscription revenue means that they'll have far less motivation to release a whole new version to get the revenue from new purchases. (In fact, the incentives now cut the other way -- they're motivated to keep improving the existing version in-place, because they'll probably lose subscribers in the process of switching to a new version.)
