This slows down development because large updates are harder to develop, test, and ship – releasing one major update with three big new features takes longer than releasing three updates with one major new feature each. You need to purposely withhold the biggest new features from existing users and save them for major updates or new paid versions. Below, are some of the most significant issues. That’s what we’ve been doing until now and it hasn’t served us badly, but the landscape is changing and, when updates become more regular, there are some pretty big problems with the paid upfront model.
