I think the Clip Studio pricing model would be fairer if, when you stop paying the upgrade subscription, you stop getting upgrades at that point, rather than getting bumped back down to 2.0.
-
probably they had it that way initially and then the engineering team (reasonably!) kicked off at having to backport bug fixes to every single released 2.x version, rather than just 2.0 & 2.latest
-
also not surprised at the backlash, given the closest point of reference for artists is Adobe subscription squeezing just as hard as their near-monopoly will allow.
