This is a whole mood.
It’s a particularly hard business model for artists in particular, whose income can wildly fluctuate.
It’s so much more advantageous to buy once, & HAVE IT, then decide IF you want to buy an upgrade that includes new things, based upon whether YOU think YOU need them, or not.

handwriting was on the wall when they went to cloud based subscription only.... honestly you'll pull my hard copy, bought and purchased software out of my cold dead hands.

This one takes a bit of a wind-up so bear with me: MIT's housing buildings each negotiate food service with the college separately. One year, an enterprising building board, in keeping with MIT's nerdy pedigree, put the entire script of Jurassic Park in their proposed contract. Without reading it

the college accepted. Unbeknownst to the college, however, buried halfway through the script was a completely free buffet for the entire year, which the college was now on the hook for. This became known as The Jurassic Clause. Software companies are now service companies to Jurassic Clause you.

I have hated Adobe since they first came out... constant, sometimes multiple times a day, they would push upgrades. For me, since I was in IT Dev & Implementation, that many frequent updates means shitty code & mismanaged dev cycles. These subscription games get a "go fuck yourself" response from me

Many years ago, some people discovered that you can get a legitimate copy of Creative Suite 2 because Adobe was shutting down the activation server and they weren't checking who had legit keys or not before making the offer. I still use it, but I'm also not a pro in the industry.
