Yep. Scummy, even for Microsoft. Too bad their EULA blocks class action.

They were selling it until October 2021, so it's not some ancient system. By building a time bomb into it, they misrepresented what was effectively a $50/year subscription as if it were a $229 purchase. Should be a slam dunk case, but it won't be.

Their EULA is meaningless in countries with strong consumer protection laws.
I didn't know you could block class actions just by stating it in the TOS for a product - thanks for the tip!
