No, i see issues because us tech people hoard products for years, and even decades.
Products like this are essentially disposable the moment you attach a timebomb like that, because what if you dont release any updates? What if i want to keep using it for a decade like my 4770k system i handed off to my dad with nothing more than a change of thermal paste?
It is clear that you have not understand the concept of the paid update service. The way how we do it IS your insurance to receive updates for many years to come unlike 99% of the other consumer hardware that receives one or two updates after the release and then never ever again. Software development and maintaining is an expensive thing.
Let's take our aquaero 5 for example: this device was released 10 years ago and still receives updates. The evolution and added functionality that the software has gone through in these 10 years is insane. We have industrial customers who use the aquasuite software for just a few functions that other software developers wanted to charge them five-figure sums for.
I am pretty sure everyone who has an older mobile phone knows the problem that at some point you no longer receive updates. What if you could pay a small amount and receives update for many more years? This is how we work. Unlike other companies we do not cut the support after one or two years and force you to purchase a new product to receive the latest features.
You should be happy that we offer this option and there is also no one who forces you to have continuously updates. You could also wait and just do an update if in a few years the software receives a new feature that you are highly interested in.
The funny thing here is always: if we would do it like almost every other company and just offer support for a very limited time frame (which you pretty much never know before!), no one would care because we are used to this system. Now you can have updates for like forever but have to pay for it, everyone gets upset.
Let's say a new gaming mouse enters the market and comes with no information at all on the updates: everyone is happy. If after a year it receives no more updates it is as it is and nobody cares. If they claim right from the start there will be only one year of support and afterwards never again, it would cause a massive shit storm, even though it is not really different to the first scenario because in the end nothing has changed for the customer.
Now comes our system where you have to pay for later updates BUT you can be sure that you have the option for an update in the far far future.
So tell me, which variant do you think is better for you as the customer? No support at all after a year or many years of support but for a reasonable price?
