It’s crazy to me that at this point. I feel like purchasing an app for $79.00 for a lifetime license feels emotionally like a FOSS. It’s “free after a one time fee” - that marketing could practically work on me at this point. But since lifetime licenses are disappearing left and right, FOSS is the only future for continued development
To be honest.
Samesies.
I was happy to buy (the very proprietary, very commercial) Magix Vegas. Why?
Because gasp. It had an option where I paid them money and I just. Had the application. No yearly subscription, no log in every time I turn on the programme.
Just. A one-time activation. Holy shit. I use it for my work and woooooowww.
Even though it can't use my AMD GPU properly.
And just not honored
