I rather pay X $ per year to have 3 copies of up to date office than YX $ to have one copy of one version forever. After Y years (or rather 3Y), when the subscription finally costs more than the one time buy, it is somewhat outdated in comparison. This is because the subscription is reasonably priced. I say this as someone who always used to pirate windows and office. I don’t anymore. The price is right, I use the product… so I pay for it.
Very unlike Adobe products, all still pirated due to the absurd price points. And super easy too, despite their subscription model.
