An interesting post on the same topic from David Sparks in his blog here: http://macsparky.com/blog/2016/8/vesper-as-the-canary-in-a-coal-mine. What it seems to suggest is that prices for applications like Vesper have now become so depressed that, without a change to a subscription model, an entire class of software will disappear. But what will happen if consumers refuse to run with subscriptions? Presumably, the choice that we have become accustomed to over the years since the Mac App Store opened will disappear too.
