I bought WinRAR. They earned it
kunkuno
I would buy a t-shirt that says "AM'I FREE?" at the front and a winrar logo at the back
JohnWickdidnothingwrong
I bought it a long time ago. Might pick one up, though, cute bag.
Brainzaps
They could have put a winrar license with it, printed on a small letter inside. So it’s a real collectors bundle edition ^^
Darprice
Why would I buy the bag when I didn’t buy the license…there HAS to be somewhere I can get it for free…
Subtilico
Funny, but way too expensive for such a small bag.
SpaceForGold
Remind me later…
SaintSleepyWeasel
I would 100% buy WinRAR apparel from them. Not from the Internet, but from them yes.
rbudrick
European CaRARy-all.
warpfactor1
It should have been a collapsible (or expandable) bag
hellothisispeggy
Bag of holding type thing. Be an easy low effort post too. Put a bunch of books in it, let it fall flat showing the books are compressed, pull out a kindle.

*un-7zips pants* "sigh"
Chais
Un-zstandardises your pants. You'll never find the 7zipper now! Muahaha 😈
AyrA
7-zip has mod support

I'm a WinAce guy. After using it for about 25 years, I recently pondered for the first time ever to actually buy it.
seafoamistasty
I read a negative review of a game on Steam where the dude said he'd rather buy winRAR. O.o
tomwaits
So which did he buy

I have a friend that probably over a decade ago actually paid for it and all l could think of was WinRARs team like:

IhopeyougetstageIIIcoloncancer
A while back, I got a sizeable raise at work. I was trying to think of how to celebrate, and I ended up buying two WinRar licenses - one for me and one for a friend.
I couldn't think of a bigger flex for "look how much money I have!" than that.
BHPaperstacks
Trickle down software licensing.

BillHubbard
I wish they'd make a macRAR...
myr14d
I'd honestly 100 percent buy a full on chest or backpack styled like that.
PunnyTiger
does it crush the contents into a conveniently smaller size?
IUpvoteEveryNicholasCageGIF
I'm really jealous, it's not sold here in the Philippines, but I really want one.
sharikov
Can I try the bag for free for a bit first?
BlueskydragonFX
TBH I'm more interested in the hoodie.
Poppypoppoppop
$115 is something. But that picture promoting it is genius.
slipmagt
Its $150. https://in.tern.et/en-us/products/674859675846753485
ILike2TouchButts
Yeah... I just saw that. Boooo
Mcmaclassie
If they have a hoodie, I'd gladly buy one if I could :)
rotzverpopelt
They're making about a million euro per year with winrar: https://www.northdata.de/win%C2%B7rar%20GmbH,%20Berlin/Amtsgericht%20Charlottenburg%20%28Berlin%29%20HRB%20109885%20B

Who will take pity on me and give me a crumb of an explanation? Yes, I'm old and of low IQ.

These kinds of programs are called Trialware, and carve a market niche out due to the fact that businesses and government entities using them have to buy licenses or face slam-dunk court cases. By being otherwise free, they become the defacto standards for personal use, leading to widespread official use.
JustAnotherRabidToaster
WinRaR is a compression program, like WinZip (and others) that encouraged you to buy a copy if you liked using their software, but never hindered you if you didn't (unlike the early days of WinZip) and their logo is 3 booked with a belt around them, hence the bag.
ShadeMeadowsArt
BLESS WINRAR
RummageSaleBubbler
Also, it should be a compression bag.
MrStealYourGiF
Either with the straps like a sleeping bag storage bag or with a vacuum fitting.
TheHuntedSnark
As the proud owner of a WinRAR license, I figure I can skip the bag. (But it's a great gimmick and I may have to rethink my pov.)
qPRdxH4UXm36HS9rJgLA
I still have a site license from college over 20 years ago.
SoshiGenkaku
There’s at least two of us out there!
AThreeFootTallChocolateMooseWithFudgeEyes
LGR bought one. He made numerous videos about how far the licence goes
Dimestream
I've had mine for years now. Specifically fewer than 5 because I had to request a re-send of the license key rar file after I changed PCs, and they didn't charge me for a resend and don't unless it's been more than 5.
That is to say, COVID made lots of us do strange things. I guess purchasing WinRAR was mine.
Eyhlix
*The proud owner of the one and only WinRAR license* "impressive, very nice."
Cornflakes91
mom said its my turn with winrar
Jyzzzy
We have it on our office machines. Bought it years ago as the popup greatly interferred with the screen reader my boss uses. Still using it nowadays when installing on new machines. Great bang for the buck, even though the free software is perfectly usable.
HulaJesus
I have two. Cause I bought one forever ago and years later I forgot the email I bought it with for verification and figured why not I'll be the first repeat customer.
TheHuntedSnark
They had a good deal around Christmas and I thought "what the hey, why should the developers do this work for nothing".
Given that the messenger bag costs six times that, I would demand that it include a software license ....
Eyhlix
I'm proud of you, internet stranger! I would agree with the inclusion of the software with the bag.
TheHuntedSnark
It was a moment of weakness.
TheHuntedSnark
It's $ 150, fffffuuu ... https://in.tern.et/en-us/products/674859675846753485
RedFlameGamer
It's also pretty small, too. If it were a bit more affordable and practical, I'd really like one. As it is, unfortunately, I'm too poor for that.
VictusVonGuyver
Would make more sense for that price as a bookbag.
OhIfIMust
I'd have done $20...
ThingsThatDontJustifyGenocide
If it wasn't $150, I would'a. ItIS a neat bag.
YourUnderpantsIsCripsy
Because it's not WinZIP you swine
Kwyjor
Golly, haven't thought about WinZIP in a long time. That was everywhere, once.
LemonGrabsPudPud
I still remember my registration code!
Chaoticgoodsoul
Uncultured swine that is!
EpsteinsWeenieHutJuniors
I agree but its not winbelt either
Tyrannotron
It can still archive and unarchive zip files, generally referred to as zipping and unzipping them.
Mxlespxles
decarnatedame
Yeah, man. I also rar, tar, gz, and iso, fucker. Where's them icons? :D
Badgerbadgerson3
gry425rjcp350
Sigh *unzips
Thornaxe
Getting a lot of hate. But nobody ever said they RAR’d a file.
Tyrannotron
Eh, idiots love to claim something is incorrect so they can feel smart. The original zipper joke worked just fine since winrar has always been able to handle more than just rar files, including zip files.
RevolutionOnHerLips
I mean this just isn't true
n0n53n53
RAR and ZIP are both file formats that compress multiple files into a single archive. RAR files are generally better at compressing files, and they have additional features like error recovery and multi-volume archives
Tyrannotron
I'm well aware. But winrar also handles zip files just fine, so the zip joke works just fine.
