to be clear, this was not a case of buying something with a lifetime guarantee, this was a monthly subscription, and a promise that you'd be grandfathered into the old rate indefinitely.
it's kinda shitty of them to cancel it, but not like the situations where people have tried to buy "lifetime" subscriptions to some SaaS product by paying a large up-front cost, and then having it cancelled.
- totalZero 7y ago> a promise that you'd be grandfathered into the old rate indefinitely. Sounds like a lifetime guarantee to me.
- macintux 7y ago“indefinitely” is a huge loophole, not a lifetime guarantee. If that word was used by Google at the time, there is no case here.
- notatoad 7y agowhether or not this could be called a lifetime guarantee was not the point of my comment, at all. typically, purchasing something with a lifetime guarantee requires an up-front payment to secure the lifetime guarantee. it seemed like some people here might have been under the assumption that was the situation with google music. i just wanted to make it clear what the actual situation is.
- xbmcuser 7y agoYouTube music is shutting down the lifetime guarantee is for the product or service life not the subscriber's life. So I am not sure where they are wrong in shutting the service.
