@Kent-Dorfman said in I feel cheated.:

I know it's troll bait, but I do have to agree with the OP about licensing fees. Monthly use fees are criminal. Really, for as much as I hate windoze, the .net dev model is really the most fair one in the industry: buy once, and use that version forever without restrictions on redistributables.

+1. And Qt license used to work the same way in the past, too. Maybe it still does, I'm not sure.
