I don’t have subscriptions for anything or license keys. What are people doing?
I remember Microsoft revoking my license keys for a 2011 Office Suite disk which were supposed to be a one-time purchase. Since then I gave them the middle finger and installed pirated copies on every single family member's device.
They could have had a loyal lifetime customer but broke my trust and now they have a full family of non-customers.
Consuming. Blindly.
