Is this even legal? I mean people paid for the lifetime version.

They should be refunded tbh.

No, they should get their lifetime membership. They paid the money for the membership because the membership was worth more than the money to them.

A refund on its own is never good enough because of gains from trade. The company broke a contract.

There's probably some fine print in the ToS that says they can do this. It may or may not be legal but that makes it a lengthier court battle to try to prove.

I have bought a lifetime VPN for 15$ in 2018 or 19, still kicking :)
