 Even in your email, your excuses for your subscription model are garden variety landlord sound bites. “But we keep the property maintained and manage repairs! Just keep paying us rent or we’ll evict you.” And that’s exactly what happens when one cancels their rent to Adobe or whoever. You no longer get access to the tools to reload any old projects you may have archived. So no, I will not pay any software landlord and will find a competitor’s product without this protection racket scheme.
