This "unique model" forces people to pay for the same plugins over and over again. The only reason why windows users are not affected most of the time is due to backwards compatibility but if then wanted to stay up to date they would have to rebuy the same plugins indefinitely. Their "updates" bring almost nothing - see the recent "HiRes" fiascoWaves have a bit of a unique model where they "sell" their maintenance independent of their plugin. While you do get the first year thrown in, people just can't really expect that anyone could afford to provide continuous support indefinitely for just $30. They'd go bust!!
Where did you get this nonsense from? I recently paid 29$ for Imposcar update and roughly the same price for Largo 2Other devs don't do this, instead they charge you with the upgrade cost which is why it's $80-150 or more. If they didn't they could probably afford to sell their plugins for $30 too.
WUP is a blatant cash grab and anybody with at least half of the brain understands it. I like their plugins but they should get their shit together and actually make some effort to update/improve their stuff instead of charging people for nothingThough, while I understand the reason for WUP, it's still annoying. But then, no-one Ikes to pay maintenance costs to a plumber or electrician either.
