We are seeing a lot of AppSumo lifetime deal breaches and maneuvers these days… so bad that I don’t even open AppSumo anymore, and no chance I would be renewing my Plus membership. Once upon a time I would visit the page several times a day looking for deals and spending a fortune. Platform credibility Is now so brutally battered by cunning practices of entrepreneurs who change terms, brands, products, limits, run parallel web pages or portals and do so on account of sheer greed, lack of integrity and perhaps AppSumo’s unflattering commercial terms which some of them openly complain about in various community groups, after the fact.

Both sides are guilty - but the victim is ultimately and unfortunately the subscriber or customer. AppSumo should boldly write a caveat emptor i.e “Purchases at Buyer’s risk! Buyer Beware” and then rescind the ambivalent “got your back” guarantee or reform it. Buyers should know upfront what they are getting into.
