Q: Just received an email from you about being bought out by WooCommerce.
Please can you let us know how this impacts the AppSumo deal please for existing users? Will all of the original promises be fulfilled?

I hope Automattic doesn't try to push us into monthly/yearly plans for updates and such as they usually do. I remember well what happened with WooThemes... my lifetime updates were gone because product life ended (all themes without updates = broken, useless).

As Automattic has a history of abandoning their acquired company's and integrating those services in different parts. I'm afraid that this 'Lifetime' deal is going the have a very very short 'lifetime'.
VaultPress, BruteProtect, Robot Ninja, Gravatar, Cloudup to name a few. Most services haven't seen great developments.
