> You bike as a hobby you buy a bike.

I did buy a bike in 2004 and another one in 2009. Both were pretty expensive so I don't shy away from spending money on hobbies I enjoy.

Thing is, today I still have both bikes and I still ride them both every week. I don't need to pay Specialized again every year just to keep using them.

Happy to pay for software, even somewhat expensive software. But it better work forever. I'm not paying for apps that expire and want me to pay again for the same thing. That's not acceptable in a hobby/personal market.
