Anyone else find themselves just not buying macOS/iOS apps anymore because of how volatile they feel?
What if…
- the app gets sold?
- they pivot the whole UI and make it worse?
- an OS update breaks it?
- they hike the subscription price?
- they change to subscriptions?
- Apple randomly bans it?
Contrast to buying games from Steam or Nintendo eShop, for example. Some rare exceptions (inefficient updates, online-only games shuttering), but overall they feel much more steady.
