### 1/5 — Subscription based no good

*2025-08-27*

Whats going  on  with these  guys that  they now jumped in the  subscription bandwagon as if it would be the  holy grail. Subscriptions are valid for products or services which change periodically and offer new material, such as Netflix, Spotify, etc.....not for a piece of software that has a set number of sounds and will probably have until the end of days!! I sincerely hope he changes the  business model to a one shot payment like 99% of all software synths.
