The win is that consumers get up to date products that are expensive and took years to develop, and customers are now able to consume them cheaply on a monthly basis
It's crazy how delusional and ungrateful consumers are lol

People don't want to subscribe to subscription based software for certain tasks. The companies should provide an alternative option.

Since they don't I don't feel sorry for people who find alternative options. I remember Pro tools had a issue about a decade ago where their iLok was having a lot of issues and users couldn't open the software. Their customer service was shyt so people who owned the software were downloading the crack version just to use their legit copy

Why are y’all cats paying for Spotify?

I don’t go anywhere where a monthly subscription is worth it to listen to music. I’ll just buy albums to support or download the music for free.

at the gym I get my songs from YouTube lol or my music app

Do you know how much of a headache that is to transfer and plug your phone into the computer/laptop each time a new album or song comes out?

fukk up....im 99.99% sure i got more money than you

They do not want the everyday consumer to own anything anymore. You will be forced to pay forever for everything you use and like if they have their way.

The biggest problem is that most companies totally lack the service component of ".... as a service" business.

Apps are worse. You download a game and you’re spammed with so many ads that you are waiting to press skip/close more than you play the actual games.

then there are the games they force you to spend money just to get past a certain level.

That's designed to push you towards buying the ad free version or more likely buy the app store subscription
