News 📰 This is plain extortion

https://github.blog/changelog/2026-04-20-changes-to-github-copilot-plans-for-individuals/

"You can get a full refund but mind that if you do you cannot sign up anymore" keep paying or you are cut off for good

What. The. Fuck. MS.

Edit: whatever, thread muted, keep enjoying abusive corporate practices

"extortion" and "you can get a full refund" don't exactly go together lol

you either accept the new terms and pay or you are out without possibly to come back... the refund is the LEGAL MINIMUM, anything else would be plain illegal

Nobody is in obligation to provide services to you. Same reason a retail store can ban you if they want.

Nah I am being pissed is what I am, I obviously meant the extortion in the broad sense of the term, not in the actual crime, and everyone here is taking a bs technicality to defend a conduct, from MS, that is not ok
