    I think it would be fair if you bought a version of a product for a fixed price, which you could use indefinitely and then to take a small price to upgrade to newer versions

    I mean that’s exactly how it used to work. You’d buy Office 2004, you could use it forever. When the new one released you could choose to upgrade if you wanted.

    Same with Adobe stuff and everything really

      I miss this option. I always used to make my software last for years, before opting to upgrade because of some new features.
