Well said, puts words to a concept that's been kicking around a bit.

Painful to read because hindsight is always 20/20 and oof they got me pretty good

I've worked with companies that claimed they offer lifetime licenses, still. The catch is the lifetime license applies to only the one product, with no versioning. So the only way to keep using the product is ot upgrade, which requires a new license. Then on top of that, the product was not backwards compatible. Fuck you teamviewer, that was a 900$ mistake on my side, for trusting those fucks to honor their own agreement. Technically i could "grab" an archive copy, but those are nowhere to be found on the site, and if they are, they immediatley break because they aren't updated

Harsh. Right up there with secure pensions and company loyalty.

"oh we don't support that any more."
