I don't like subscriptions going up obviously. But the idea you don't want to pay for what you don't use isn't very realistic. I don't use 90% of C4D not to mention all the silly render modes aside Redshift they offer.
But,
Much of my work in architecture these days can be done with free software that is as good, better or much easier to use. Twinmotion, Unreal, Blender, Cycles and on. I am still with C4D & Corona since I acquired the skills and assets. But my competitors, younger people mostly don't pay for software at all and experience the older expensive apps as moving back in terms of features. Another group that is moving over to free software are those that are getting older and fear losing skills when the work gets less and the subscriptions become too expensive. I am in that group.
I have a feeling prices go up due to customers who left for the free apps leaving Maxon and others with a smaller group of users. Makes me think of Apple. When I started in Architecture and Graphic design you saw Apples everywhere. Now, almost all offices have gone to much faster cheaper PC's.
