Every license you purchase has a right to revoke. Remember this when companies keep pushing for an all digital future

So I am now officially never buying a Vegas editing software again.
The Developers have removed Vegas Pro Edit 15 for purchase on Steam and are now revoking licenses for the software. I'm now out $150 and no longer have an editing software. Very cool!
Please retweet for awareness

Is this even legal? You purchased the license which didn't have an end date and now they're revoking it without compensating you for the money you paid.. like is this a thing? What the hell is wrong with companies..

Eulas and tos are. However revoking digital rights isn't since a license is always temporary. License vs rights

This should be illegal and needs to be tested by the courts. The consumer was sold a perpetual license and the seller revoked it after the point of sale. In any other industry this would violate consumer law, but the courts are unaware or don't want to examine this issue.

perpetual licenses cannot be revoked, subscription licenses can. technically even your t-shirt is sold under a perpetual license

No, no they do not. If you paid a single price for a piece of software in most jurisdictions you bought a good. Like any other with all the rights that implies. They can't actually just take it back.

There's a difference between perpetual licenses and subscription/service licenses
