Hi Donna, That's along the lines of office 365,
You pay per month for the package or service and in the case of office if you want to upgrade that's fine, if you don't you just keep using the version that you've got but the patching is free, the upgrades are part of the monthly charge -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Donna Goodin Sent: Friday, 10 June 2016 4:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Daring Fireball: The New App Store: Subscription Pricing, Faster Approvals, and Search Ads Good points, Chris. I've long felt that upgrade shouldn't need to be free. If a developer works to build new features into their software, they should be able to charge for them. Then I as the consumer can decide whether those upgrades matter to me or not. If they do I simply pay for the upgrade.
