I have described the situation to the German consumer protection authorities (as I am in Germany, and conveniently Steinberg is as well). I would recommend all German residents reading this doing the same, to raise the priority of them looking into it. You can probably do something similarly in other countries without having to hire an attorney. As for a refund - I directly purchased my software from Steinberg, more than ten years ago, and it wasn't particularly expensive. So there's not much in for me personally, but I would like to see the situation to be addressed at a higher level.
