I mean, Spline seems to do the same thing if your company makes enough money:

>Spine Enterprise is required for businesses with $500,000 USD or more annual revenue. The license allows Spine Enterprise to be used by the specified number of users for a period of one year. All updates are provided during this time. After one year, Spine Enterprise must be licensed again to continue using Spine Enterprise.

I didn't know that! Pretty sure the enterprise license didn't exist when I bought it.

I like these honour system enterprise licenses better than never-ending subscriptions, but they are becoming too common in the game industry.

common anywhere. Even if you paid only $3 a month 10 years ago, that subscription would still be more expensive to a lifetime professional as of now ($360) than your upfront price of $289. maybe a bit cheaper when you adjust inflation, but another year would close that gap.

So you get the allure from the business side, since they are also continually spending time and probably labor updating the tech.
