Hello Arlyn,
Sad to say I am not excited.
You have bundled together a set of tools and assets that might be good for some folk. It's not good for me, and I would suggest for many other folk, who want all the many, many bugs and feature requests from the last couple of years in an upgarde path that is not subscription based. That's what we paid for. We did not pay for a subscription mode. A very expensive solution, especially for a non-profit, educational establishment as myself.
I feel that the company has looked at where the moeny is to made, with companies like Adobe taking on the subscription model because they know that companies will pay it.
By the way, loyal customers who bought SL1 and the SL2 paid for all the work that kept the company going and presumably all the work that has gone into developing 360. However, what happens to folk who CANNOT afford a subscription model!!
Very, very disappointed

Hi Chris. Thanks for sharing your perspective with us. In case it's of any help, I thought I'd just share that there's a discussion thread here: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/articulate-360#reply-391802 where you'll find a bit more detail on pricing and licensing, including details on perpetual licenses and future releases.
