Q: When will AppSumo start seriously protecting its customers from such scams?
Over the past few years, I purchased several "Lifetime" deals from AppSumo that suddenly shut down, not even after 2 years, and always a couple of months outside the "We Got Your Back" guarantee.
I know LTDs carry some degree of risk and are not always a guarantee of a good deal, but there seems to be a recurring (and increasing) pattern of software that takes advantage of AppSumo, then suddenly disappears. I invested several thousand dollars in AppSumo deals, most of which are used only sporadically (taking advantage of the good part about LTDs) or are sitting there to be used when the need arises. Unfortunately, more and more of these deals will result in losses after only a few years, as they suddenly shut down.
I would like to ask AppSumo to extend the window to at least two years (instead of the actual 12 months).
