In his blog post, Tan defended the subscription-only licensing model, calling it "the industry standard."

“Industry standard” my ass.

If Adobe hadn’t started the trend by lusting after Blizzard’s subscription model and ultimately emulating it, we’d all be a lot better off.

Not to mention our wallets being eternally thankful.

It is the industry standard now, it never had to be but they all got greedy and Adobe kickstarted the slide

Free and open source software is the industry standard
