The “software gone yearly” is a relatively new way (several years now) doing business (and suck more $$$ from us) and it’s called “Software as a Service” business plan.
I personally hate it... But, I was in the IT Business for 38+ years and I’ve seen it coming a long time ago. That type of business model was/is great for medium to large businesses as it is good for maintenance. However, for the general consumer, it’s overkill (for the lack of a better description — ironically, my wife and I were discussing this subject last night).
