@Serge they do make more money on the Online version and ultimately I suspect their goal is to sunset the Desktop version.
30 years ago, there was no internet to speak of and their product was simply the Desktop version.omers
as of October, 55% of all Windows users are using Win11 in any event. So TT is further is making the bet that that a) some customers migrate to the Online version, b) some customers upgrade to WIn11 so the fallout is relatively minor in the end.
They have made a business decision.
