Editing Linea Sketch revokes lifetime licenses (section)

==Consumer response==
Some users noted<ref>https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/linea-sketch-joins-the-subscription-band-wagon.2229950/post-28356268</ref> that with the automatic app-updates enabled they lost access to the premium features without knowing it:<blockquote>
Version 2 auto-updated and now I'm stuck with watermarks and a little nag message. Stupid move. I liked version 2. Been using it since version 1.0. All my artwork is kind of useless with that watermark unless I pay. If I knew this was going to happen I would have exported everything while I was still on version 2. I've been told that they announced this in December on their blog. Too bad I don't read the blogs from every developer's apps I use.</blockquote>Others criticized<ref>https://mjtsai.com/blog/2020/04/14/linea-sketch-3/#comment-3200933</ref> the company's approach to communicate the change:<blockquote>This is not about people being unwilling to pay for good software. This is about a series of terrible decisions that culminated in people who did pay for good software getting screwed.</blockquote>
