I love all the comments saying "yeah well that stuff isn't free someone has to maintain it"
YOU'RE PAYING 100K FOR A FUCKING CAR
That's the payment. That's what they get their money from.
Wanting more in perpetuity is fucking stupid no matter what the excuse is.
Finally someone who gets it
Glad to see you here my fellow comrades
Honestly the people who defended subscription models for something that you already paid & own are dumb (or maybe just trolling around) like people who defend adobe for subscription models
You don't own the cellular towers your car needs to connect to in order to work with the app.
But you do pay to use the network. So, you're still paying for it.
That's the point. It IS a subscription. The person I'm responding to believes that it shouldn't be and that they've paid for it already.
