am I really that old that I remember this being the default for most of the software about 10 years ago? Are people already that used to the subscription trap that they think this is a new model ?
I grew up with shareware in the 90s that often adopted a similar model (though having to send $10 in the mail and wait a couple weeks for a code or a disk to come back was a bit of a grind!) but yes, it's refreshing in the current era where developers will even attempt to charge $10 a week for a basic coloring in app on the iPad..
