    I shouldn’t have to subscribe to software. And I have only made one exception due to the exceptional functionality of the product.

    99% of software asking for a subscription isn’t exceptional and could be done as a stand alone item.

      The only exceptions I can think of are streaming services that simply couldn’t exist as standalone one-off products (Spotify, Netflix etc). But yeah, there’s no logical reason something like Photoshop should ever require more than one transaction.

      I bought FL Studio back in 2017 and have received free updates since then.

      Meanwhile, most other software companies: “nooo, you can’t own the software, you have to pay for a subscription and you can’t keep using it when it’s over! Also if you want updates you have to pay for the premium subscription”
