Remember Google gave early adopters free "lifetime" subscriptions to their Google Workspaces for Business (aka gmail for domain names) and then pulled the rug out a year ago? If Google can get away with this shit then it's normalized in our culture that nothing corporations promise is true, pray they don't alter the terms further.
- danpalmer 4y agoThe important bit here is "free". While it wasn't a great move, nothing was paid for so there's no contract. Also I'm not sure it was ever called "lifetime" (I can't find that), it looks like it was just "grandfathering" old users in to a free plan. I think that's a materially different situation to selling lifetime licences and then reneging on that.
