Having software as a service (ie subscription) is an obnoxious approach. I dont want to pay monthly for something, because odds are in the long term I will be paying 2 or 3 times more for the same software if I payed up front.

How many times a year do you go to Gencon?
I personally have never gone (this year will be my first time). I go to one other convention yearly, Wifi access and cell phone access there are fine.
I rented a cabin in the middle of the frikin mountains.. guest what? It had wifi (decent too). I can't remember the last time I gamed and didn't have access to the internet.
Since subscription models are so obnoxious to you, I suspect you have NO other subscriptions for anything? $25/year is nothing, especially for the benefits it will have.
