That’s messed up. What’s the point of a lifetime sub if you don’t get the features. I bet that’s how they sold it; that you’d get the new features.
Bait and switch laws still a thing?
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoIf it's a feature that didn't exist at the time the lifetime sub was purchased, that doesn't seem so bad to me. If they took away existing features, or added annoying upgrade nags to the app, that's a different story.
- pinkano 7y agoPlease see the answer above.
- JustSomeNobody 7y agoThere’s absolutely no upside for the consumer to buy into the subscription model if they’re not going to receive feature updates. Security patches should be factored into the original cost of the app.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoYeah, but in this case they didn’t buy into the subscription model—they bought a “lifetime subscription”, which is really just a traditional, perpetual license under a different name.
