Free upgrades are problematic themselves: once you've saturated your market (a good place to be, right?) you no longer have income to provide upgrades.

FL Studio has had free updates for +23 years and is a company with profit.

It does not look like a problem for them.

Do you have an example of a company that saturated the market with free upgrades and went down because of it?

Given that I'd never heard of them (and I've played around with a few DAWs), I don't think they've saturated their market.

Again, do you know any company that closed because free updates? Or you just make things up?
