And as for new versions whats the difference between buying a new version and having a yearly subscription? The price might be a little lower but they usually offer a discount.
All patches offered by OOTP have been free. As for why they have us pay for updates, that's not something I can answer.

I don't think OOTP has the responsibility to offer previous customers a discount. It would be nice, for sure, though, if the pre-ordering price was permanent with a valid license of the previous version. But, they could buy me lunch, too, and I'd be happy - I'm just not expecting it.
