You were on the right track but came to the wrong conclusion.
They’re pricing the lifetime pass out so no one buys it. The goal is to get everyone that doesn’t already have one to get a monthly subscription.
They’re not going to screw over the existing lifetime pass owners because those are the people that helped get the company to where it is today. They’re the people who bought it just to support the product, not because it was needed.
I didn't think about that. It does make Kore sense than my train of thought. These companies, wao.
