You might not understand :

• their explanation for what happens to users who’ve paid
• what I mean by “soften the landing”
• what I mean by “what that really meant”
• what I mean by “I wouldn’t be surprised”

I’m not a mind reader, mate. Even less so on the internet. I could be ESL, or from a different part of the world. Whatever’s obvious in your head isn’t going to be obvious in mine.

So, if you want me to tell you what “this” means, you’ve got to tell me what “this” is.

Which part?

Not for users who paid the mobile unlock fee.

What if I’ve already paid the one-time mobile app activation fee?
For users who have already paid a one-time, in-app activation for either our mobile Android or iOS app, an extended trial for the new Remote Watch Pass subscription is available.

They soften the landing with the “extended trial”, but anyone who paid the “one-time fee” is finding out what that really meant.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a year from now there’s an announcement for Plex 2.0 and my lifetime account only applies to legacy Plex.

I don’t think that’s it.

There were complaints when Netflix started enforcing password sharing rules.

I think the main driver of complaints is “you promised the thing I’m paying for would be X, and now you’re changing the deal.”

What’s really weird is that the byline(?) says this article was published “today”, when I saw this exact same headline more than a week ago.

Forepend.

The rocket science button, apparently.

I agree.

Halloween is the context.
I said it was fine without context.

As in, on a normal day where people are not trick or treating (and therefore expecting candy)… it’s fine.

As long as they wash their hands first.

Oh, right, that holiday.

Without context, this is just… fine? As long as they wash their hands first.

Can someone explain?

Just double-checking how long I’m supposed to boil this ramen for.

Yup. Still three minutes.

Look, strange men in forests shooshing lips is no basis for a game dev budget.

I read the word st*le in your comment and was forced to take candy from a baby.
