Appsumo/bcast,

As you already know Bcast has declined to offer their lifetime plan to all sumolings even though they are still an active business. This is not acceptable. If they are pulling the lifetime only to offer a monthly discount we should all have our purchases refunded. They should have voluntarily offered a refund if we are going to be subscribing customers and the discount they offered is the least they can do to try to uphold their name.
How are you monitoring these startup companies in this business of bait and switch or fraud in the future. I purchased 5 codes totalling $395. This is not a small purchase. A two week notice to either pay or find another hosting platform is unprofessional and bad service all around. I think most entrepreneurs would not feel as let down if we are refunded the startup fees we contributed to and would still support them with their discounted hosting price offer. If this is their practice I can see them going out of business very soon and we are all still stuck finding another hosting platform.
It's a shame because I assumed I would always use their platform and was planning to refer them to other Podcasters. Now I can not honestly recommend them as I don't know what else they have planned in good faith.
Please advise how bcast/appsumo plans to make this right.
