...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
