Anyone investing in a lifetime pass because of these changes is really making a really bad decision. Plex is not going to get better. These shitty decisions will keep coming and eventually it will be something that affects the lifetime users.

I got one a very long time ago, when it was cheap and seemed like a good investment in an up-and-coming ecosystem. It’s worked out for me, but I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone else, at this point.
I’m just waiting for them to find a way to reneg on the pass and then I’m off to Jellyfin like everyone else.

Yeah, one reason I hate lifetime anything, they’ll change the rules and give you the middle finger and they’ve already got your money so you can’t do shit about it, lost cause.

They dont have to renege on anything. Just create a new variant, an let the original stsgnate. 5 years is an eternity in tech, so if an app is not updated in 5 years, it will be pretty useless.
