sehe das mit dem 'abomodell' doch anders und tatsaechlich in der praxis nahezu immer als nachteil. die 'weiterentwicklungen' sind in aller regel nach einer gewissen zeit der softwarereife reine augenwischerei die in keinem verhaeltnis zu den kosten fuer den nutzer stehen. aufhalten laesst sich diese entwicklung schon indem man einfach diese modelle nicht annimmt/bezahlt und damit raum fuer opensource-projekte schafft.
I agree to some extent with what you say. Whenever evaluating something with subscription options such as the Evo I look to see what the device has inherently on offer and base my decision on that. The bot training option in this case is a bonus feature. Chessnut have stated that once you have created bots they are yours to keep even if the subscription is cancelled. Now, if this service is removed I will still enjoy the features the Evo has to offer and any already trained bots. I guess the rule is to use up the first 10 free training sessions before the service may be terminated, but imagine that wouldn't happen very soon so I doubt initial users need to panic.
