You guys are complaining about a subscription to apple and amazon ? go look how much a subscription to an Autodesk product costs ?

[–] Hillock@feddit.de 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They aren't comparable. Autodesk is a business product, not for consumers. The product makes you money and the price for it is a business expense and tax deductible. While subscriptions to Spotify, Netflix, etc. aren't.

No, it's more comparable. AutoDesk, same as Photoshop. You used to be able to purchase it outright (at great expense, sure). Now that's not even an option, you have to subscribe monthly.

There was never a non-subscription version of Spotify.
