I believe some people are even oblivious to how many “services” they are even subscribed too! I get it, between all the Netflixes, Spotifies, Adobe Creative Clouds, Fusion360s, Apple Musics, Disney +s, etc., it must be super hard to keep an overview. Subscriptions are the perfect remedy to that! Everybody is pretty much trapped in your model, stays pseudo-loyal to the product, although many customers simply forget to cancel on time. I imagine it was really a drag, all the money you needed to spend on marketing and adds to make people aware of “new” features, but in the end only a small percentage of your user base even updated.įurthermore, people generally are vigilant (or lazy) when it comes to updates, because change means having to invest energy and money in getting to know something new. Generally, subscriptions are a new marketing ploy to simply draw more money out of people’s pockets. I don’t think so! Most programs are really endless works in progress, just look at how many times Rhino 6 has already been updated.

So maybe if a software is changing its license model to subscription, it just means its basically a finished product! Except all the niché functionality, what is essentially missing in Photoshop? I do own Affinity products as well, and although it is missing some features compared to its Adobe counterparts, for the tasks I (and most casual users) need it, it works well enough! But some softwares are at a point where there is not much to innovate.
I also believe, that a subscription model prevents innovation, since developer don’t need to find arguments for upgrading. I bet the amount of people never or hardly upgrading their software is large. Nevertheless, I have the feeling that subscription licencing is more expensive for the end-user. Depending on the profession, license costs can have an impact on the taxing. At least in Germany it makes sense to have similar expensives each year. That tax argument is actually a good one, since I do have some self employed family members, and for them having frequent expensives is a great argument. If I could change it without loosing my forum history, I would! )Ĭalm down, a stupid name (like I have as well) is not a statement. But that doesn’t mean I lose access to the stuff I have in the apartment… (but now it gets complicated this… because parables are parables and hardware isn’t software and… never mind. I do rent my apartment, an if I suddenly no longer has income I may have to relocate to the forests. Lets not repeat all the problems that can happen to a private owner which may suddenly lose access to his own data. How can there be any confusion about the simple fact that owning and being forced to subscribe is not the “same” thing? I think there’s some confusion about this aspect in this thread - about the choice and the preconditions for ownership. Companies and private individuals would typically think different about which alternative is “best”. I do understand very well the tax incentive etc (living in the tax paradise Sweden we know about that aspect, believe me) but the tax-regulations is seldom if ever relevant to private owners.īut as long as there’s a choice you can chose the alternative which suits you the best. I also don’t think that renting software is a scam either. The car always works, until you retire (or a pandemic strikes and your income goes away) and then you have no access to or use for your car.Įxactly, also everybody pretty much knows that car leasing is basically a scam! It’s like having a car and renting the engine. trimbles tekla structures soft cant even handle curves they still want thousands of euros every year

do you think in 2100 the world will finally have fully stable reliable 3d soft? at this pace there will only be parasolid kernel with tons of code built upon the same old core from 1980. there should be new player running on new russian geometric kernel to really step into game and raise competition. noone has power to really change anything major, they can just keep on feeding this marketing oriented machinery. cads running on kernels written in 1980s. this whole situation in the aec software market is ridiculous. this funny trimble company improves nothing and want to sell sketchup for 1000e a year and bring nothing except new icon. i buy a car i use it and then i buy another new one two gens later. how hard is it to once develop software with capabilities and then work continuosly on minor or major upgrades. I think all it is all funny these software companies.
