Conversely, 'lifetime' purchases can be a total disappointment if the software folds or is bought out.
- al_borland 10mo ago> Conversely, 'lifetime' purchases can be a total disappointment if the software folds or is bought out. They can also work out really well. I bought a "lifetime" PlexPass on the day it was launched. From what I can tell, that was around 2012. 13 years of service and updates so far. Plex is starting to have its problems with some questionable decisions as they look to give investors some ROI, but it's more than paid for itself by now. I wish more of these companies would be ok with staying relatively small or growing slow, to avoid the compromised decision making that investors bring to the table. I wonder what the future of 1Password will look like as well, as they brought on investors too.
