Yep, have completely lost interest now. Asking users to pay is one thing, but then going to closed source… That’s a no from me dawg

Yes, this new iteration of Junk Store will be paid software and will be closed source.

It didn’t say subscription-based, but more power to you.

It didn’t explicitly say subscription but it did say they now have ongoing server costs per user. That, to me, sounds exactly like a subscription is coming. Possibly with a “lifetime” option that will disappear when they need money again.

From the developer:
“The open source version will remain and the Gog extension people have already paid for will continue to work. Nothing will be taken away. Nothing will be broken intentionally, that’s not how we roll.”
