Have to extract the most value for shareholders. Only way i see it changing is people start stealing software because they get sick of it or people stop using subscription based licenses all together.


I absolutely hate it too. I think we all need a subscriptions manager.

Adobe for example were charging me $15 per month for Lightroom forever and Lightroom had broken and deleted all my photos years before. I think there was a problem with their software because I did not have a subscription that I could see when I logged in to any of the accounts I had.

I just gave up at some point trying to cancel (I'd even talked with their chat for several hours). But recently logged in and managed to finally see the hidden subscription! It was still difficult to cancel but at least I could actually do it!

Hard to know what to do apart from take Adobe to the small claims court about this.


Registered mail to Adobe?


No, you don't "have to" extract the most value for shareholders.

In fact, you don't "have to" have shareholders at all.
