This is a somewhat odd approach to faithful customers, upgrade or else??? And if are not a client, here is free stuff for you, but if you are an existing client ... go screw yourself if you are broke right now because you won't be able to upgrade at all since we are putting a gun on your head and discontinuing the upgrade path.
THANK YOU TOONTACK! (yes this is irony) I will not be upgrading and I will be thinking twice about giving you any money in the future.
thanks for nothing.
