A VPN Company Canceled All Lifetime Subscriptions, Claiming It Didn’t Know About Them : technology

It kind of looks like the new owners of VPN Secure got screwed - the last owner made all these costly lifetime deals and didn't tell them. The obligation/liability to service those deals wasn't transferred to the new owners.

Which means the old owner is probably the bad guy here and still owes these customers for their lifetime subscriptions.

Well, any time you buy any service from any company, you're depending on them to keep their word.

I'm not saying this is right, or ethical. But you're taking a chance they'll honor their service.

Sorry if anyone got screwed.

Genuinely curious, what was the point of you typing out all of this to put on the internet?

I don't know how to say this without being rude.

I'm wondering if you're a bot that just churns out a few semi-relevent sentences or if you thought this was going to contribute to the discussions at hand? Because it felt like it wanted to blame the victims and then pulled back at the end and I ant fathom why you stepped into the tightrope wire in the first place.

Seems like the new owners got screwed over by the previous owners who “forgot” to tell them that they had a bunch of highly unprofitable users locked in without ever paying them a cent again.

Shitty situation for those “lifetime” subscription owners, but if the company shuts down because the new owners were sold a lie, they don’t have a VPN to use either.

Just saying: Lifetime Licences for Services are a ponzi scheme

This analogy makes no sense
