    Maybe because of the fact that they can’t pay their staff, because nobody pays to use their product.

      I’ve paid for winrar because I decided I’ve used it for the better half of my life and well kindly keep using it and getting rid of that pop up whilst also giving back to soldering i use regularly was the right choice for me.

        Likewise! Once I finally started making real money I tried to buy software I pirated early on. Even if I don’t currently use it.

      I paid for it 🤷 that’s how devs can afford to keep working on their open source projects in the long run.

        I paid for it too. I mean fuck man. I’ve been using winrar for almost 30 years. That’s more than I can say for most things in my life. I figured it was the least I could do.

          Same I bought the physical disk too, not like I have a disk drive. But now I have a licensed winrar disk

            You guys are all Eugene Roshal alts. Aren’t you? Nice try Eugene!

            Edit: in reality I think Eugene is a badass who has done something really special in a world overflowing with greed.
