A license verification certificate expires and when it expires, Microsoft Office for Mac assumes it's unlicensed even if it has been fully paid for.

So, any idiot who paid for Office 2019 for Mac "perpetual" will lose access to it next month.

The same will happen with Office 2021 and Office 2024 in the future.

Pirates are unaffected, only who paid for the product gets punished

Good job 👍🏻

since its usually not the victim that actively tries to end up in the shitter but the perpetrator that actively attempts to exploit them.

Fair point. I stand corrected. Guess I wash a bit too harsh in judgement.

Victim-blaming to me seems inherently ignorant in itself. How does one even come up with the idea of blaming someone whos the victim of the crime?

Touché. That was indeed ignorant of me.
