...but I don’t have to like Apple’s recommendation to developers. Technically and legally we have never “owned” applications rather a license to use it and in a shrinking market developers and user’s need to have a financial model that assures their continuation, but “subscription” sure feels different both psychically and fiscally. This is going to take getting used to.

I just realized that I installed three MacOS and iOS apps this weekend and all three had some form of subscription involved:
  • Suppress in-app advertising
  • access to database server for managing multi-developer projects
  • weekly data updates
Okay so perhaps I am crying over milk that was already spilled and I just hadn't notice it. Now I really don't like this getting passed without my noticing

If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
