Hey that's only because Amazon, Google and Microsoft (et al) just doesn't have the Money to Make it good!!
So what about 9.99 a month?
4.99 if you pay up front for a year?
Euh, or how much can you cough up, like for a year or at least for Q4, I'm literally on a bad roll here.
I'm not going to buy into a subscription model for something I've already paid for. This subscription model crap is complete bullshit.
We even tried to do it with heated seats recently. Like install heated seats in your car, but disable them in software. It's crazy that companies think they can get away with this.
While I agree with you, they are 💯 going to get away with it, because your average consumer just doesn't care.
