    Tarantumunk or Chiprantula... the result of a tarantula being bitten by a radioactive chipmunk from Chernobyl... Has cute chipmunk powers like the ability to store plutonium in its cheek pouches and sing high pitched Russian Christmas songs (Ivan and the Chiprantulas)

    Right...except for the fact that Russians pretty much ignore Christmas...and I follow their example...uhm...I usually realize it's Cristmas when there are a lot of new freebies in the DAZ store every dayblush

    ...ugh that's really bad news. That's about 1,200$ per year, In three years time you could have your own standalone version paid for that doesn't have to "phone home". Do they seriously expect graphics production studios would want to deal with the inconvenience of a software by subscription plan?

    Of course I'm also hearing that MS is looking to go the same way with Windows as well.

    How do these supposedly intelligent people come up such stupid ideas?

    The idea is not stupid seen from their perspective, they wouldn't do it if they didn't profit from it.

    Besides, it's probably also partly to protect against piracy.

    Studios quite like having a predictable item in their expenditure, that they can drop or add as needed each year. For them the cost of the software is a minor consideration comapred to payroll anyway.

    I predict that one day the subscription model will fail.  People will reach a point of "subscription saturation", at which point everybody will have too many subscriptions.  When everybody is "in", then the only thing left to do is to get "out".  And we'll see some rather huge failures.  I put Adobe at the top of that list, but there are others; plenty of others.

    Because my avatar was animated on the old forum, so the software is referencing that data base, New avatars are hosted on a 3rd party database, which doesn't cater for animated avatars.

    Yeah, DAZ is a 3D and ANIMATION software maker.  And the forum doesn't allow animations?  I call BS.  Respectfully.  But firmly.

    It's a Spidersquirrel.  Native to the jungles of the Eastern Earth Kingdom.  These fit in your hand.  But the ones in the Spirit World are ten meters tall, with big hands and three rows of teeth.

    But they taste like possumchicken!

    So when there's a cloudflare issue that we run into, its it because someone accidentally knocked a lava lamp off the shelf or was standing in front of several so the camera couldn't see the entire array?

    ...aww bugger, that will mean having to pony up hundreds (if not thousands) in advance again.  it's a lot easier on a tight budget when PS only costs me 10$ or Octane4, 20$, a month and I am billed a modest amount each month (like I am for utilities) instead of having to come up with 600$ - 700$ in one fell swoop. wink

    Subscriptions are the secret weapon of marketers.  I know you already know this.  One reason people can't afford the "fell swoop" is because they have too damned many subscriptions, real or virtual.

    A real subscription is something that's a subscription. 

    • Like your Adobe CreativeCloud, Netflix, or DAZ PC. 
    • Those smart phone apps that charge you once per month or once annually.
    • Newspapers, magazines (does anybody get those anymore?)

    Hint:  These are often called "subscriptions".

    A "virtual" subscription is every damned thing else you pay for already.

    • Your ISP
    • Health insurance premiums
    • Any other insurance premiums
    • That thing you bought to supposedly protect you against big house or car repairs.  It's a subscription more than it is insurance, I assure you.
    • Your car payment.  If you lease your vehicle, then your lease payment is like TWO subscriptions running concurrently.
    • Rent
    • Your electric, water, sewage, fat $150 cable or SatTv bill, phone bill (all of them, wireless and land-line), and other monthly household bills
    • Your morning coffee that you buy every day on the way to work and the slurpee you buy on the way home.
    • Those 5 upgrades you pay for every year.  If you're paying it every year, then surprise!  It's a subscription.  Skip a year, will it kill you?

    You get the idea.  All these scripts add up over time.  I believe that eventually this will all break down and non-critical subs will get canceled en masse.  It'll happen one day, maybe as part of an economic correction, maybe to cause one.

  • kyoto kidkyoto kid Posts: 41,118

    ...indeed, some people just don't have the discretionary income to drop such a large sum in one lump.  Yes, renting anything may seem like dumping money down the drain, but if you don't have have the means to outrightly purchase whatever it is yo need, renting is the only other option (BTW we all really only rent the software we use whether it is by subscription or a perpetual licence, as it is the developer who actually owns the code and rights, hence EULAs).

    The common concept of the "Butterfly Effect" seems to be about figurative butterflies flapping wings eventually causing massive effects elsewhere.  However, the true meaning of the butterfly effect comes from a classic instability graph that showed a chaotic algorithm to form two lobes of possible solution paths and the diagram on paper looked like butterfly wings.  It had nothing to do with figurative butterflies flapping their wings in the jungle.  But since the mathematics behind the derivation of the chaotic graph results is too abstract for the non-scientifically minded, the mind of the common man picked up on the picture of the figurative butterfly thing and there was no stopping its spread.  But admittedly it's not a bad parable as long as you don't stretch it too far.
