Why some merchants force the clients to upgrade to new versions of their software? (rant)
I don't want to name anybody/anything in here. Just my rant ... and ofcourse need your opinion.
I bought a software 5 years back for $100.00. Remember ... they were offereing free upgrades at that time with NO support charge per year.
After couple of years they said to upgrade by paying $250.00. I was so dependent on this software, I went ahead and bought it and start paying 'n' amount per year for support and upgrades.
Now they are upgrading it again by asking another $300.00 with regular yearly supporting fee. What is this? They are sayng they will stop supporting it after 6 months.
As a software seller I know scripts need upgrades, fixes etc etc. But charging so much??? Forcing to upgrade??? Instead they should offer two versions who wants to stay with present upgrade. I am OK with the present features. So why I need this upgrade?
Is my thinking wrong? I am expecting too much???
