So instead of retiring it, we’re keeping it available at a price that reflects the real, ongoing value of the software we’re committed to building and maintaining for years to come.

I left Plex because of exactly this. What exactly have they delivered lately to actual users that isn't BS cloud streaming stuff?

Well, they redesigned their mobile app so that it only works half as well as it used to. That’s quite the accomplishment!

Oh god I remember that. No one asked them to and they burned a ton of money to do it, shipped buggy, and arguably the design was worse.

@scrubbles @plex and all of this time since, they’ve still not put out the updated version of the Apple TV version which has been problematic for so many years with audio/video sync issues, etc.
