Typical hacker news answer, There's always someone to come along and have the exact opposite opinion. :) But seriously, I can understand the preference for offline, non-subscription software, it's often cheaper and it's often faster. Non subscription doesn't provide for a steady revenue stream for the developer, however.

Developer is not entitled to that "steady revenue stream". Keep working and releasing new products / features that customers are willing to pay for and you'll be fine.
