I bought a lifetime gold license to Mediamonkey 3, 15 years ago.

I have since gotten Mediamonkey 4 and Mediamonkey 2024.

Unfortunately I don't like the 2024 refresh, but I can use it if I want to. I would also be completely happy if they just did maintenance/bugfixes on the original version.

Somebody once gave me a free ice cream, so why should I ever pay for ice cream?

If my local ice cream parlor is bold (or foolish) enough to offer a "single payment lifetime ice cream subscription", and I would have got that, yeah, I would expect to never pay for ice cream there again...

[CGamesPlay]

Neither the hypothetical ice cream parlor nor Goodnotes is accused of doing that, though.

I don't know when the OP bought his app, but the pricing page from a year ago doesn't say anything about the lifetime purchase being a subscription at all, much less a subscription that includes every new feature in perpetuity.

you are comparing a consumable food product with a software. I don't eat my software and want more...

Yeah, some people just don't understand agalmic economies and always have to reference physical goods.
