Going from V3 to V4 to V5 I happily paid and had no complaint and was actually excited about it. Paying for major release is never an issue.
I'm comparing this to what I've always been used to. IE: Can you imagine if Apple and Microsoft make you pay a subscription to get patches and bug fixes?
I'm OK if I never update again for features (if I don't need them) and would pay for features release (if I needed/wanted them) but if they are patches or bug fixes, there's a moral responsibility from the developer to release them free of charge.
You have a moral responsibility to READ the terms of your purchase. You failed. You are immoral.
The updates are not simply patches and bug fixes. They are NEW features and lots of them. Apple and MS are operating systems. Seems like you dont have a grasp of paid software in general an paid VMS specifically. Lets play this game. Please give me a list of vms that provides FREE updates for life, including patches. The problem with you is a psychological one. If he simply changed the name to BI6 and stopped patching 5 you would have no complaints. How long should he have kept patching v3 and v4? One year, two years 10 years?
You have a moral responsibility to not be a leach on society. What moral responsibility do you speak of? Why does he have a moral responsibility to provide indefinite patches to you? Stick with a stable update and you will have zero issues.
I really wish you would move to another vms. That is the solution for you. You dont deserve
