Dear Unity,
I would like to suggest the option to buy the Unity Pro and iOS Pro at the end the 12-month “lease” (subscription) to be included in the Subscription Plan.
The 2 licences will cost $1,800 for 12 months and with this option an additional $1,200 would cover the price of the regular license. I believe this would make it easier for more people to buy and own a Pro license.
Thanks.
Sounds like a good idea, though its not a lease, its really a rent according the EULA.
Though in the end, the current offer is an experiment, so anything could happen theoretically and I would support any move that either gets perpetual into the mix (you can keep the latest version you have) or that gets it more in line with comparable offerings a la Adobe CC, which is $50 / month for the full offering, not only for Adobe Premiere.
Right now the subscription is absolutely not tempting and I can’t recommend it to anyone as its significantly cheapter to just get a bank loan and get the real thing, as that will cost you far less than $1800 / 2 years and it gets you perpetual licenses and upgrade price paths.
