Didn't they change things so VMWare Fusion replaced the VMWare Player?

I switched to Parallels because of some shenanigans a while back...

~~They dropped the lifetime licensing but they didn’t force people into subscription.~~

~~I know that LTT had such a license and made it a point to bring it up every time VMWare called them to turn it into a subscription.~~

I remembered wrong. :(

Yeah you are right. I think I have made this mistake twice before. Oof.
