Ask HN: Is charging for software a thing of the past?

2•terranivium•58m ago
Fully on the decompile hype train here - I'm wondering how much longer the traditional software market has? I've recently been moving my app ideas over to an open source approach. Do games differ to tools, which are much more defined tasks for AI to replicate?

No, not really. There's plenty of software out there that you still pay for, or pay a license for. e.g: LittleSnitch, Jetbrains IDe, Plex, Final Cut Pro, etc
