Of course it sucks if you use this plan, but I think that giving nearly 6 months of notice after allowing you to use a plan for nearly 8 years after it was discontinued is generous. I think what they're offering, which is 50% off any upgrades and a credit equal to the amount they originally paid ($15) is a good gesture as well, and in the thread it seems they would be okay with refunding the $15 to those that aren't okay with this.

To that I'll quote what zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC posted just now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14358874 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14358874 >Now, I don't know the details of the contract, but generally, the value this is about is not $15. The value is the damage caused by them failing to fulfill their contracts, which would be the discounted value of the market price of all future payments needed to replace their failure to perform. >There is no general legal option for one party to a contract to simply pull out and give you back your money. They owe you what they promised in the contract, and if they don't deliver, they are liable for the damage that that causes for you.
- yladiz 9y agoCan you link to or post the actual contract from when you signed up? Without seeing this contract what you're saying is without context.
