Following the announcement of Visual Studio for Mac’s retirement, for the next 65 hours we are offering a 65% discount on new subscriptions for Rider, the only cross-platform .NET IDE.

The offer is valid for a new one-year personal subscription purchased before 6:00 am UTC, September 4, 2023.

Do they not offer a simple purchase option, only subscriptions?

IDEs need to be constantly updated to keep up with language / framework changes. Your subscription pays for that continued work.

If you really want, you can buy the 1 year and cancel after it's up - you get a perpetual license for the version you're on at the time it expires, but I really don't get why that would be a good thing.

Sure, but visual studio offers a standalone purchase option and Jetbrains should too.
