I think the Jetbrains model of perpetual fallback licence and renewals for continuous updates beyond the subscription period is the most fair model for both the user and the developer. Wish more companies would adopt this.
- purplecats 5y agoI hope its obvious that that's precisely why it won't be adopted. thriving companies aren't made by making fair transactions with users, its by forming parasitic relationships.
