I love Sketchup 2017. AFAIK it’s now a web subscript model. I just don’t use it enough to warrant a subscription. I wish I could buy a copy.

Sounds like a great way to tank the company name instead of merely a model name, next time Intel shits the bed with a backdoor security issue, or FDIV bug, or other big-time screwup. Might as well name the company Footbullet at this rate.
