Look I can understand subscribing to streaming services as making shows and movies is very expensive and every month or two they have somethi g new so they are stoll workong to get paid.

But paying monthly for a program that can be a one time purchase is a scam, they literally made the program one time so unlike streaming programs don't have that much new things in them, maybe some minor updates but there's no way those updates costs the same as shows, some updates can be just a one hour secission of them fixing some minor bug or adding a feature you'll probably never use and evrn that feauture takes maximum one day from one employee.

So most of the year the program owners are doing aboslutly nothing (unlike streaming platforms who are making a new show/season or movie) but they expect to pay monthly for something they made once, and then they get cash while setting and doing nothing for most of the year, its a literal scam.

Are there any free alternatives to kicrosoft office and photoshop? Or even if paid ones I wouldn't mind because at least they would be a one time purchase.

I mean seriously games take more effort and time and budget than any program out there, yet they are a one time purchase,while these lazy programs owners get paid every month for absolutly nothing
