it's always licensing costs.

don't know how this is legal yet pirating software is illegal.

Command and conquer was da best. I mean I've started playing https://beyondallreason.info/ which Is a free open source RTS.

But damn the cutscenes were so cool.

Maybe if licensing costs weren't ridiculous I wouldn't mind.

$15/m/user is ridiculous. Charge me like $100 a year for the license and then like $1/m/user on top. It literally doesn't matter much how many users there are for many programs, no extra resources for the company. And if it does use resources it's usually not $15/m worth.

it’s not technically legal afaik… the license defines a user pretty rigorously
