The thing is, the bike, the turbo, the computer, the screens etc. all belong to me. The only thing that Zwift adds is the distraction that makes hours and hours on a Turbo tolerable. Since I started Zwifting I've got used to watching films, listening to music, watching GCN YouTube vids etc and so Zwift is usually pushed to my second screen and, for the most part, I don't look at it (especially once I hit Lvl 25 and there was nowhere else to go).
Now that I've got used to entertaining myself on the turbo all that Zwift is actually doing in logging my distance (when it doesn't crash) so a basic, free program that did this would probably suffice.
There are times when Zwift provides a welcome distraction (when new courses are released or I ride in a group) that I'd miss but would I miss it enough to pay an extra 50%? Given the frustration that all of the recent glitches has caused (an after work ride to de-stress after a tough days work often leaves me more stressed than ever due to all the issues) I'm undecided at the moment
I've actually taken days off from Zwifting recently as I can't be bothered with all the faff of trying to get the damn thing working. Basically Zwift have a year (grandfather price) to get their act together before I have to decide (unless a viable alternative comes out, then all bets are off).
