I have mixed feelings about this. In the long run, with this new policy, as an Admin I am paying for an indefinite period of time. I prefer a one time payment from a cost point.

However, with that said, if I get BETTER communication with the programming vendor it may be worth it, especially with mod problems.

I paid over $200 in mods that I couldn't get to work the way I wanted them to, so a reduced monthly rate would have saved me money there. I am new too, as I just picked Boonex up in see more november of 2015.

So, I am torn between costs & support. I also wonder about support and why it would be better. The programmers that are communicative to their existing customers, so how would that improve? The ones who have disappeared are not coming back so how does this resolve those issues?

No eventually you will own it just without the high cost upfront.

Just look into vendors reasoning. Why do they disappear? They might think that spending time supporting or updating products isn't baying back. Or they might think that people buy looking at the cover, paying the whole amount upfront anyway, so why bother supporting? With subscriptions, they would know that people would keep paying ONLY if support and updates are provided. They would also see stable revenue growth tied to good communication.
