Forced Upgrades

I’ve noticed recently (by that I mean the last few years!), that those devs that don’t go for subscription models to sell their software are increasingly opting for upgrade pricing only being available for a short period of time after which point you end up paying full price. I find this irksome and not supportive of loyal customers. The last one that came through like that made me drop the app entirely.

Sorry to rant, but the customer is no longer king and being relegated to a very poor servant.The long term effect of this is that there will also be no loyalty from customers to developers either.

Does anyone else have a problem with this upgrade model or is it only me?
