Hasn't this always been the case? They've always had free versions of both Workstation and Fusion. I've been using both for the last 15 years and I think I only paid for Fusion once. I kind of prefer VirtualBox at this point anyway which has always been free.

In a few weeks Fusion/Workstation is EOL anyhow. So why charge the customer for it if HT can make good PR and give it for free 😂
