BTW, I don't have a fundamental objection to a subscription model for products that are upgraded and improved periodically, as long as it's voluntary. I have purchased a number of products that release a new version every year or so that costs money. That's fine -- the company needs to get paid for the work they did to improve the product.

But I should have the choice of whether to take advantage of that offer to upgrade (new features, bug fixes, continued tech support, etc.). If I don't care to do so (e.g. the existing version works just fine for my purposes), I expect that I won't have tech support any longer. But I don't expect my copy of it to stop working. That's extortion, IMO.

Absolutely!
