Subscriptions are literally the worst cancer to the software industry!
Like seriously! they restrict users from using certain features until they pay a monthly/yearly subscription!
Let's take the kids game Bluey: Let's Play! by a company called Budge Studios for example. They limit Kids into one Area until they pay a monthly subscription, which is about $6.99.
if you want your kid to play the game for a year, you will pay about $83.88. which is expensive!
Another Example is Adobe Inc.. Which is the company behind the popular photo editor known as Photoshop.
They had a One-Time Subscription called Adobe Creative Suite with its final release being CS6 in 2012, which is a year before they moved to a monthly subscription called Adobe Creative Cloud.
Creative cloud Costs $59.99 per month for all apps. but if you want to use their apps for a year, then you will pay about $719.88, which is damn expensive!
but if you used Creative Cloud from the beginning non-stop, then you have paid about $7,918.68. which is too much expensive!
Subscriptons are only getting worse & it absolutely makes me infuriated!
why not just do other good practices instead of imposing such rampant restrictions? it's much better!
