   Those are the exact pirated copies I was referring to. Or do you really believe that a copy that costs 3 euro can be legit ?

    I'm happy to see that element found another potential revenue stream, but will people pay the 5$/month to unify their messaging? I don't know about others but it's not that much of a pain point for me, and I'm using
