I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Uggg. Ransom is a great way to phrase it. I hate having app’s from the store and they “upgrade” to a subscription service leaving the licensed folks in the cold with no app updates. :/

      there’s a software that I own a perpetual license for called “Clip Studio Paint” and they got around that license like scumbags by refusing to provide more updates and making a new software called “Clip Studio Paint 2.0” which was essentially the same software, just without perpetual licenses available… even then, I had already paid a lot and would have had to AGAIN. talk about scum of the earth
