Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?!

I mean, it naturally has to be something that they eventually find a way to charge you something for. If it’s a for-profit business, and if they only sold lifetime subscriptions, they would eventually go out of business.

Then they shouldn’t be called lifetime subscriptions.

  Sublime never offered lifetime subscriptions. web.archive.org/web/20150928064400/…/sales_faq You can even see as far back as 2014 that if you purchased Sublime Text 2 when Sublime 3 was still in beta:
  
  Upgrade Policy
  A license is valid for Sublime Text 3, and includes all point updates, as well as access to prior versions (e.g., Sublime Text 2). Future major versions, such as Sublime Text 4, will be a paid upgrade.
  
  Expiration Date
  Licenses purchased for Sublime Text 3 do not expire, however an upgrade fee will be required for Sublime Text 4.
  
  You can find that disagreeable, but it was not something they hid from us customers.

    Licenses for sublime text 2 just said “and future updates”. I remember the “lifetime” thing being a selling point on producthunt. This was back in 2012 though, and the weird way the licensing change was handled made me switch to emacs.

  That makes zero sense.

    Not lying makes zero sense to you?
