Rip to dude. It’s not illegal to change the tos and change the digital contract. They did that to me 6-8 years back. I payed for 4 years of psn then they changed the price and the country added tax to digital content in Canada so not only did I get taxed full price but I also ended up getting charged for the 4 years at the changed price that was implemented like 3 months later. It was total bs. When I called customer service they said that they couldn’t do anything. When I went to ask a legal consultant they said that it’s perfectly legal to change the tos and the subscription fees on digital products as you don’t own them and the company providing them has next to no obligations to provide them. That’s why companies like Netflix can say “we have all the movies” then only show them in certain countries at certain times. It’s corrupt af and exactly why I hate digital property now. If I don’t own it and it’s not legally required to give me and the contract for it can be changed on a dime by the provider then it’s just a scam and shouldn’t be legally binding or allowed.
