And when did Microsoft start scamming us?

And when did Microsoft start scamming us? My husband and I are trying to save money, so we're going through our budget and we're like, what are we spending our money on right now? What are we spending too much money on? How can we cut back? And we're going through each of our subscriptions that we kind of have separately. We get to his and I'm like, what is this 12.99, 13 dollar charge from Microsoft? And he's like, oh, that's for like Word. It's from Microsoft Office. And I should have called him a liar. I was like, um, no it's not. You're lying. There's no way, cause you just pay for the licence one time and then you get the the access to Microsoft PowerPoint, Word, Excel, whatever. So my question to you is, when did Microsoft start scamming us? I mean, that's what it is. You used to just pay whatever it was, 160 dollars for the licence. And listen to me, I literally sound like I'm 60 years old, but you literally used to pay for the 160 dollars or whatever it was one time cost and it was steep, but you paid for the 160 dollars for the licence and then you had access to Word and PowerPoint and Excel and whatever the hell you wanted the entire time. And now they're charging thirteen dollars a month.
