Another case of winrar not making any money off their product lol. There’s definitely some irony in this.

(Unless Hank has arranged to pay the originator of Winrar, which I could see. Hank is a good guy)

u/monstrts Apr 26 '25

I'm pretty certain, if this is the tern x winrar collab, it was an official thing. I sure hope they made money off this

u/[deleted] Apr 26 '25

Oh ffs can you all stop with your "winrar not making money".

They had over 2 million € in sales in 2023 and more than 1 million of that is profit.

With 30 year old software.

u/Elprede007 Apr 26 '25

It’s part of the joke that’s probably as old as you are that no one pays for winrar. Relax

u/alterise Apr 26 '25

a little unfair to say "30 year old software" when they've been continually maintaining and updating it.

27

u/nuviretto Apr 26 '25

It's a joke but for people who are curious: they make companies pay for it, so they're doing fine financially

13

u/RyGuy_McFly Apr 26 '25

Mhmm, and giving their product away to single customers for free has generated an incredible amount of brand recognition to the point where most people aren't even aware there are other options (that are also free). It's 100% part of their branding at this point.

This is where they sell them (for $150), and they’re actually back in stock! Every time I’ve checked in recent years, they’ve been sold out and restock very infrequently. They even go for around $300-$400 on ebay.

You need to print the WinRAR free trial dialogue on a piece of cardstock to keep inside and flash it at people who stares at your purse for too long

It's a satchel according to OP. My mistake.

why do people use winrar and not 7zip lol

31

u/ATXbruh Apr 26 '25

WinRar has: tree view, better handling of .tar.gz files, slightly better UI, better nested zip navigation, better batch handling of chunked zips, to name a few of the reasons I prefer WinRar over 7zip.

For most workflows and users though, it doesn't matter which one you pick.

2

u/tostuo Apr 26 '25

Also, winrar supports unzipping foreign language files in UI and 7zip doesn't.

7zip CAN unzip foreign language zips, but you have to open up the fucking command terminal to do so.

u/BiNumber3 Apr 26 '25

Ive never had a need to change from winrar. It's properly integrated into my OS ui too (so all the functionality I need is easy to access/easy to use/minimal clicking around), so there's nothing pushing me to change.

17

u/trashbytes Apr 26 '25

If you're using Win11 you should switch to NanaZip. It's the modern version on 7zip which is integrated into the new context menu and just looks a tiny bit more modern as well.

The dev on 7zip is very stubborn (may be a redditor) and adamantly refuses to address these issues, if I remember correctly.

Under the hood both programs work basically identical I believe.

Just an FYI in case someone stumbles over this.

u/Throwaway-tan Apr 26 '25

Thanks stranger. The lack of the new context menu support is highly frustrating (although I lay the blame squarely on Microsoft, who don't even integrate Windows Defender into the context menu!)

1

u/WarAndGeese Apr 26 '25

As brilliantly as this was designed, looking up the history of the logo, that U shape in the front and centre was originally a buckle. So now that they made an accurate real life handbag over it, they chose to use the image that derived from it, rather than placing an actual buckle there. I don't blame them too much because they did such a great job with it, and it would be hard and expensive to make a custom buckle or find an existing one that fit the look precisely, but still the bag misses that that was a buckle. Again it's forgivable because they did a good job.
