Not just pay for stuff, but actually own the stuff we pay for. All those albums and movies and video games that people pay hundreds of times their value by using a subscription service, can be revoked without warning or appeal. Having a CD or BluRaycollection isn’t just about “showing off”, it means you can listen to that music or watch that movie/show any time without the need of a connection or at the whim of some corporate overlord.
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.
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.
They were providing a means by which you can have ad-free access with one payment to Sync’s dev. Thus, you pretty much own unobstructed access to said service with no further charge.
That’s unfortunately as good as it gets in today’s world, unless you want to keep using CDs and DVDs like it’s 2004. Your call.

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

You can buy a ads-free version of sync without subscription for about 15 euros.
Don’t bother keeping up with the conversation, just keep being an ad. Whore.
Lol what a sad human being.
