And I went on their page to subscribe for a lifetime membership, and they wanted 20 bucks, which I was okay with, but it does not include Major Updates! I guess I’ll buy it and just click the do not check for updates button but that seemed kind of, I don’t know.
I still think they’re pretty cool for not hassling you more than they do.
Am I wrong that this bothered me?
Hahaha true! Maybe they were going for a similar model to what VMware used to do: Provide ESXi for free for usage in homelabs, so that people get hooked and buy licenses for business use.
That’s precisely the model. They don’t care that much as long as people end up with plenty of RAR files, and when you need it as a business most of them will make sure everything is properly licensed to avoid any legal liabilities.
And by making the trial keep working forever, not many end up cracking it either, so you keep nagging them and some people probably end up paying.
