Perpetual licenses are just scams. It's always startup type trick to get new clients during on-boarding phase for startups. It should be forbidden. It was similar for uber when they were undercutting opponents with their under the cost prices
"It should be forbidden to pay once and own a thing forever"
Nice try, subscription salesman.
Strawman argument. I didn't write it you sneaky b...rd. I wrote marketing perpetual licenses which in most cases do include "perpetual updates". Still nobody has proved me othetwise by showing EULAs
Multiple people have explained it to you. No one ever made any claims about updates.
