The bad news is, if you're not on Team Tux, you're going to have to pay $60 for Brave Origin. Granted, you only need to buy it once, and you'll get unlimited activations across all of your devices.

It's amazing people still believe this BS.

They'll probably hold to it for that exact product. If they rebrand it and add it back, that's no longer the same thing you paid for ;)

Ya, that's the really obvious take. That's teh way you do biz these days.
Like, that's what's gonna happen to all those 'lifetime' Plex accounts. Sure, you still have access to 'Plex-classic'. But you don't get any of the new Plextastic services ... unless you want to pay the $1,999 upgrade fee ...

If I get to use the exact product I paid for a lifetime account for forever that does kinda sound like exactly what I paid for.

Trust me. You need Plextastic. Its got all the cool new stuff. Just a small fee.
You will come around.
