Subscriptions done right:
* JetBrains - big discount during the change to subscription model, perpetual license to the last version that was released while your sub was active
* Office - gives me OneDrive space, 5 licenses to use in my family, Skype minutes, yearly payment - the subscription is the best value for money.
Subscriptions done wrong:
* Creative Cloud - more expensive in Australia for no reason, no value in choosing just the app/s I need, can't use old versions if my sub lapses.
* Google Apps - holds $300+ of Android apps hostage if I ever cancel my subscription
