My complaint was not so much about the amount, but rather for the yearly subscription.

I really don't like this trend of software as subscription.

If it was $120 for buying a license I would probably consider it. But $120 for 1 year use is rather high in my book.

In fact, you are paying $120 for a license and then getting a year's worth of free upgrades. After your subscription ends, you're still allowed to use that version.

Oh is it? Apologies then, I got it wrong.
