so where is the relief for sticking it out? where is the compensation for the time we cannot do anything for a product we're paying for? and It's nice that they reward 30 - 40 people a year for being 'loyal' ... but honestly, i'd be happy to just get what i pay for.
2 years ago was worse than this year. and yes, anyone can win, which seemed to be a complaint of many folks
relief for sticking it out? it will only happen on an individual basis. i can remember one time in the past 7 years where they extended everyone's subscriptions for a month, but that was before "beta" (remember beta?)
my honest opinion is that they need to rip the whole thing down and start again (in a virtual environment first)
the problem is ownership, no doubt. as a former tech guy, i can smell bad management and moving goalposts
