The problem with Paying monthly for all you software is that it starts to add up real quick. People don't want to pay for their software every month, they want to pay for it once and then forget about it for a year or two, or maybe even more. Subscriptions also leads to extremely buggy software. We have Adobe CC and every single new release introduces new bug, some of them are pretty nasty. Even their bug fixes cause more bugs. I'm guessing that their beta testing is almost nonexistent now. If Autodesk wants to make more money, they should start putting new features in their software that will make people want to upgrade. I haven't really seen much in that past few years on any Autodesk products that would make me want to upgrade.

If you can skip the big purchase price and pay by the month, like Adobe did, it's a good opportunity for independants and small companies. You can also decide not to pay for 3 months because you are using another software on a specific project. But I doubt Autodesk will make it that flexible.
