[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 114834, post: 1094166"] I have to agree with the OP on this as these tactics such as have taken place for years. I remember when Norton would use scare tactics at the end of the subscription, big warnings flashing that if you did not resubscribe your subscription soon you would be hacked basically. Many users that were not tech savvy were put off by this as well back then. The last thing users want is things flashing in their faces especially from products they have paid for. Most companies make you put forward an email, and there is no reason they can not push these type things through a friendly email. Its understandable they need to continue to profit as a business and may have other products they want users to be aware of, its just how they are presenting it that is putting off users. Basically the PR departments need to find another way to advertise without pestering their paying user base. [/QUOTE]
