| IIRC they advertised themselves as "pay once, use forever" in their marketing. So why shouldn't they uphold that? |

| An advertisement is not a contract, unfortunately. If we're going to talk legal, we need to talk in legalese. |

Being told that the app you paid for would be a one-time payment, and then having the service deliberately degraded to try and force you into a subscription model, is clearly not puffery. |
