@richardSFO @daringfireball @gruber "people don't want to rent music" mean while 40 million subscribers and counting.

@G_iPadPro @daringfireball @gruber unfair analogy. Spotify gives me huge value +constant incrse in songs: perft ex of excellnt subscr model

@richardSFO @daringfireball @gruber this will actually make the App Store better. Forces developers to provide substantial benefits

@G_iPadPro @daringfireball @gruber But you're not inside consumer's head. You're only thinking 1-sidedly: Users not obliged to sustain you

@richardSFO @daringfireball @gruber that's how I know there will not be 5$/months subscription that are not worth that amount

@G_iPadPro @richardSFO Right. If it’s too expensive no one will subscribe. That’s how capitalism works.

@richardSFO @daringfireball @gruber Apple is annexing the artists formerly known as Independent Developers.

@dabrandt @daringfireball @gruber That is superb language: Apple annexing !

@richardSFO @gruber you and I may pay for apps but no one else does/will. This is how we pay devs now.

@richardSFO @gruber users of apps.

@jkuss @gruber Thx, still not clear: "this is how we pay.."—and it's an abomination?—or "this is the correct/fair way topay devs nowadays"?

@richardSFO This is how we pay, and it’s fine. Give Adobe $2k every 2 years or $75/month makes no difference to me.

@jkuss OK, thx. Then we have fundamental disagreement. I don't think i'm alone thinking— if monthly subs for apps— consumers will reject

.@gruber @daringfireball I totally agree with @richardSFO This is only good news for #greedy developers. @kcase You're not greedy. Are you?

@solimans @gruber @daringfireball @kcase snark appreciated; greedy was an extreme exageration--targeted at Adobe types & CableCo's. What sub

@richardSFO @gruber @daringfireball @kcase No snark intended; just a concern I'll have to pay more for one of my fav. apps, @OmniFocus

@richardSFO @daringfireball Apps that no longer make money aren't maintained, and the hacks to allow charging for upgrades sucked.

@LnxPrgr3 @daringfireball please explain hacks u mean. How/why periodic upgrade pricing is bad UX ?

@richardSFO @daringfireball Upgrade pricing isn't bad; having to make a "new" app to do it is. Easy to not notice there is an upgrade.
