This is a major gripe I have with the modern service/subscription-based economy.

I give major props to companies that reward loyalty. IntelliJ, for example, offers discounted rates the longer you've been subscribed. It works for them because it's an incentive to never let your subscription lapse, and it rewards the dedicated end-users as well with cheaper prices.

Plus, perpetual fall-back is nice as well: decide to stop your subscription? You just stop getting updates, rather than losing access altogether.
