刚下班, 让我细细道来.

我在一家欧洲软件公司工作，我们目前正在开发一个下一代的工业设计软件, 一部分包括Cloud Service, 需要额外的订阅, 它为用户提供2-10TB的云空间, 还提供许多团队协作功能, 甚至还有综合的看板, 确实很方便.

刚才有一个会议在讨论”Regional availability” 我就是做 Chinese Localization的, 当我发言的时候, 我只是说, 我们在中国提供Cloud Service可能有问题, 备份功能基本上是无用的, 尽管我们在SEA有服务器, 但中国用户要过墙, 没有VPN的情况下, 上传速度会很慢, 一个工程文件, 就要几GB的空间, 根本不可能.

然后项目负责人问我, 发布时, 是否应该取消为中国用户提供Cloud Service? 我一想, 别啊, 你指望蜘蛛hobbyist和企业购买一个不提供任何在线服务的离线软件? 然后我给他讲了一堆支事, Piracy rate in China for offline apps, Most clients in China are expected to use a VPN service, Infeasible profitability in the region without a subscription...最后，他告诉我”I am aware of the difficulties providing services in China, and if we are unable to provide the most optimal online service for our clients in one particular region, then it would be much more preferable to simply cancel the online service in that particular region than to mislead our clients. However, we are going to have another meeting regarding this particular issue in the near future.“

基本上… 我给自己添事, 又要再开一次会… 坑坑蜘蛛不好吗…
