Just something that bugs me.
I know Clip Studio Paint is a really popular and well used program among artists. It's feature rich, has tons of brushes, and is one that many, many artists use (many of my own friends).
The problem I have with it is this constant 'reauthorization' crap it wants to pull, even if you buy the perpetual license. I hate programs that require an internet connection, and need to 'double check' that your version is 'authorized' before it'll even let you use the program you paid money for. (I would not do that monthly subscription service.)
I miss the days when you could buy a program, install it, and that's it. It's yours to use until your computer goes belly up, or you decide to upgrade or whatever. No nuisance-ware popups that remind you to 'reauthorize' your license, no limiting your ability to use it should you not have access to wifi for a while.
If I'm paying money for a program, I want to be able to use that program as long as I like, without having to essentially check in with the parent company to show that I'm still allowed to use it. On my machine. That I purchased it for.
If I paid for the perpetual license, they got my money, and I'm using the program perpetually. They don't need to keep checking to verify.
I've still got a little time on my free trial, but I'm considering just going back to Krita. I don't want to pay money for a program just to have to keep getting 'permission' from the company to keep using it.
Yeah, yeah, old lady yells at cloud.
