    That shouldn’t matter

    If we had the most basic of regulatory practices over businesses in this country, especially the tech industry, this practice simply wouldn’t be allowed. Even the bullshit doublespeak “life of the product” version

    Lifetime means lifetime. If you can’t honor that don’t offer it. If you go back on it you should be harshly penalized.

    Looking at you t mobile, rolling stone magazine, filmora, Dropbox, salesforce, mcafee, etc

    This should also include if you remove features from lifetime subscriptions and make them contingent on paid monthly subscriptions (looking at you adobe, Evernote, and probably plex in 3-5 years)

      Lifetime means lifetime

      No, actually that is part of the problem, they shouldn’t even be allowed to advertise ‘Lifetime’ without explicitly stating whose lifetime.
