Absolutely 100%.
I see some software companies jump on the subscription bandwagon and getting ideas from the gaming industry to exploit people as much as possible, to rake in even more money than usual, all the time instead of one-off lifetime purchases or annual purchases at least, to monthly subscriptions with even ranked tiers for more features, support and s uch.
They want us to only have online based access to everything and never have it offline and especially without payment upfront, nothing for free, nothing offline. All paywalled. I fucking hate that so much, its truly dystopian.
Even the deliberate transistion of games becoming "live services" instead makes me sick beyond words. Especially as a former aspiring game designer too.

Randy Bitchford has screwed over owners of Borderlands 2 MASSIVELY after owning the game for a maximum of 10 years now. Its fucking sickening what he's been doing to it. nothing is sacred to souless, greedy, sycophants like him.
