Same thing happens with hardware drivers, for instance. A lot of the time they depend on specific Windows functionality that Microsoft can - and often does - change.
I have to come to Stardock's defense here, because as a software developer I feel the same way as they do concerning this issue:Ī change to a new version of Windows is not a trivial thing, especially when talking about applications that work so close to the OS itself as Windows customization applications do. Even though it wasn’t called that way, it was some kind of subscription that terminated inexpectedly, so I had to renew. I just remember the Stardock way of selling updates - my licensed WindowBlinds version just didn’t work anymore when Windows Vista or 7 (too long ago to really remember which Windows it was) was out, and would not, so I needed to buy an upgrade in order to use it on my computer again. As long as it doesn’t exhaust you, it’s the more charming way. I think it is good you don’t offer 35.000 apps, but target on a small specific set of tools, and offer support yourself.
It boils down to the way one handles things - and you left a mark right after I entered your cosmos by buying a license and got into talking to you. Yes, that is not a subscription since you can drop off and in again at any time. But still, sorry for putting that so inaccurately. I don’t want to make this a Nexus ad campaign of sorts, hehe. In the interest of clarification, let me just say that Winstep software is NOT subscription based (as in 'rental' software):
