I'm not mad at all. I just disagree that they should be praised for seeking rent and then reversing their decision. Where is the merit in that?

The move to subscription has not been reverted. What's been done is adjustments to address some concerns customers had. And this has been done in response to customer concerns.

Yeah, they did reverse it because now you can own the product after paying for a year's worth of rent.

That's completely different from only being able to rent the product. But either way, there's still nothing praise-worthy here.
