I really like the concept of making monthly payments
the prime and only option for earning your access to something.
It works great for cabletv, your landline, internet access, gas, water,
the rent, healthcare, insurances, the works.
In a way, even citizenship is granted on the basis of being expected
to pay back for being born in a similar system, where you are to contribute
monthly or yearly with your taxes but transfer your right to decide about
what´s going to happen with that money to someone else supposed to know it
better.
It´s a very well evolved system with centuries old tools to enforce regular
payment and the least amount of hassle for the one sitting on the receiving end.
It´s genius.
No more pressure.
Just one more nail to the coffin.
Cheers,
tim
P.S: The Unreal Engine model is nice, you can log in once for a reasonable fee,
get the tools you need, learn based on that and only really need to part with
your money once you´ve earned some...

They don't even seem to get how subscription works currently
Back when i bought softimage 2013 it cost 3700 with vat stand alone, i
checked how much it would cost to buy with subscription, an extra 1500
dollars ?!
surely a subscription entry fee should come at a lower or at the very least
equal entry point, I'm paying extra for the right to pay monthly ? is paying
a feature ?
There must be some subtlety I'm missing about your subscript story,
because adding a 1 year support contract to anything is always going
to be an extra?
