They have only announced an increase in the maintenance price, not subs so I 
asume the price won't change. The price would of course depend on where do you 
live. Right now, the subscription (rental) costs about 2.5 times a maintenance 
(old subscription) if we don't count the initial price of a perpetual license.

Switching from Maintenance to Subs this year in June will make you save a few 
hundreds until 2020 while losing your perpetual license.

From then on, the subs price will be x2.5 again and it would be more expensive 
than staying in maintenance, unless of course they increase the maintenance 
price even more or just stop offering it at all. It wouldn't make sense, 
business wise, to keep a low income maintenance when you can force everyone to 
pay you 2.5 times more with subscription.

Those who can't really choose outside Autodesk, will be paying more, and lose 
their perpetual licenses.
