While I don't like the move to a subscription model for a lot of software, I really couldn't finish this piece. I don't think it was very well written, mostly because it kept repeating the same points over and over written a little differently. It could have been much shorter.

I don't like the subscription model because in the end, for multiple subscriptions, it all adds up and ends up being more expensive. And that after spending a lot of money on a subscription you still don't own the software.

(Not to mention "season passes" for games.)

This is actually the best feedback I have had on that article, thank you so much for commenting, you know proper critical feedback is the best kind of feedback. Truth be told, I hammer the same point how thrice, simply because my papa told me people were stupid.
