![]() Super product, but updates started to slow down and slow down and WOW now look it's all ONLINE baby for a price. It's happening with Adobe Photoshop and stuff, where they've been skinning their customer base for years, but quite frankly who would now as a new potiential customer decide to shackle themselves to that? I know quite a few people who will use inferior tools JUST so they don't have to hook up to Adobe blood-suck. However, any 'new' customer will not let themselves be trapped. ie people who have invested in their product already, and they can somehow "up sell" them the subscribtion for a while and it sounds like a GREAT plan. I think all these companies rely on /captive audiences/. Yearly realases are bad btw and nobody likes them. The presumption from above is, that you won't renew you subscription when you don't like the new yearly version – but then you can no longer access your files you need, since you do business! So cancelling of subscriptions basically never happens, turning your company into a gold mine. The reason why this doesn't work like in the PR statement above is the way things work in real life.įirst you lock them customers in: all their files are now in your proprietary format. As soon companies decided to switch from the possibility to let me buy their software, as in "I own this thing and I can use it indefinitely." to "rent" their software, progress came to a grinding halt most times. So for me subscription basically is equivalent with the opposite. Something competitors have for ~20 years already. The only thing that was new in this years version was slanted walls (!). Or maybe CAD/BIM products, like Revit from Autodesk. In fact, the opposite is the case! Just look at Adobe. ![]() > Subscription demands constant improvement of our product and enables us to make $Product better for you - faster. In any case I can't stand all that false statements. ![]() ![]() Not sure if I should cry or burst out in tears from laughing. It is really hard to read through all that marketing nonsense. ![]()
