Do you want to own a version of an app that never has updates?

[–] WIPocket@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. I want my old version of an app that will never stop working when someone decides it should. Im ok with paying to upgrade, Im not ok with apps that needlessly need an internet connection and that stop working when someone shuts down their license server.

Any app that relies on another service needs maintenance just to keep up with changes in the API that break backwards compatibility.

[–] WIPocket@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Ok, so? As I said, Im ok with paying for an upgrade. I am not ok with an app not working offline when the only online functionality of it is license checking. I am not ok with an app not working not because the service it connects to changed their API, but because the developer of the app itself said so.

Do you want to keep up with the conversation or keep being an ad? They said they want to go back to just paying for things and I expounded on that to include going back to when we actually owned the things we paid for. Or do you like wasting money with literally nothing to show for it and no control over the things you pay for? Keep sucking that billionaire dick, though. Maybe someday they'll shoot a wad (of money) down your throat.
