Carbide Create Pro- What do you want to see?

Regarding subscriptions, I implore you to please figure out how to have a non-subscription option available. If I were making money off this, I could easily accept a subscription model, but as a pure hobbyist, I find it immensely (and perhaps irrationally) undesirable.

I can (and often have) justified significant “tool” purchases (both hardware and software), and the cost of replacement parts or upgrades doesn’t bother me a bit. On the other hand, the ticking clock (or should I go with “tell-tale heart”) of a subscription just makes it feel like I’m losing money for every day I’m not doing something, and that just sucks the enjoyment right out.

Like I said, it may be irrational, and I can certainly show that I’ve spent more on licenses and upgrades for some packages than I would’ve spent on a subscription for the same. I’m also permanently stuck on Photoshop CS6 and without Premiere, which makes me sad. Still, not having a subscription breathing down my neck (however lightly) is absolutely worth it.
