==Printers page==

I feel like there needs to be a guide or smth along those lines on Printers as a whole. Which brands to avoid, what brands to shortlist, what things to consider, etc. Maybe we could bundle in 3D printers while we're at it?

==Only incident pages suggested here?==

I'm not sure if there is a policy page I missed here, but I'm having some confusion regarding this page. It seems to only contain incident pages, despite this wiki also containing products, organizations, themes, etc. (according to [[Consumer_Rights_Wiki:Article_types]]), and this page being seemingly labeled as a general article suggestion page, not just for incidents. Could we use this page suggest more than just incidents, or is there another page for suggesting the other types of articles?

==AllTrails sneakily revoked lifetime licenses and forced subscription on users==

As per title. [https://www.alltrails.com AllTrails] at some point AllTrails was offering lifetime subscriptions that were discontinued in 2019 (see Business Response [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints here]).

They have also had shady marketing practices whereby users believed they were buying perpetual licenses but in reality the T&C had in its small print that these licenses were for a 3-year-plan (again, see earlier comments [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints here] and [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/10r64u1/lifetime_subscription/ here] too).

While this probably doesn't count as "evidence", I know a person who bought one of such lifetime licenses and after a few years a few devices later, they reinstalled AllTails only to find out that their license magically disappeared. They contacted their customer service who denied restoring the lifetime license at all despite all personal details of purchaser had been provided. AllTrails solicited a proof of transaction which the buyer couldn't find due to the time that lapsed. Either way, Reddit reports suggest that the best case-scenario would be offering a 3-year-plan (see comments [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/10r64u1/lifetime_subscription/ here]).

This is a really shady company that has misled and violated consumer rights. It deserves a page to remind the public of its dark past of revoking lifetime licenses, shady selling practices, and forcing a subscription model.

Suggested incident text:

'''AllTrails Lifetime Membership''' was discontinued after 2019 (sources [https://www.bbb.org/us/ca/san-francisco/profile/travel-services/alltrails-llc-1116-943157/complaints 1], [https://www.reddit.com/r/hiking/comments/1osqu5d/alltrails_decided_to_screw_over_their_lifetime/ 2], ). While some users purchased what was advertised as a "lifetime" subscription for $99.99, AllTrails has clarified that these were actually '''3-year subscriptions''', despite marketing claims. Multiple Reddit users have reported confusion and frustration after their subscriptions expired, with AllTrails support confirming the 3-year duration. Users who bought a "lifetime" subscription before 2020 may have received a 3-year membership. Some have had their access extended after contacting support, but this is not guaranteed.

:Apparently all of this mess was due to VC funding, see comment here: "AllTrails has raised $151m in VC funding. They need to invent features to show they are growing. The product has been "enshittified"." (see comment [https://www.reddit.com/r/alltrails/comments/1lb091a/lifetime_membership_downgraded/ here]).

==Amazon’s Game Streaming Service Removing Access To Purchased Games And Offering No Refunds==

Sorry i'm new to the wiki but i think the Amazon Luna page and this incident should be added to the wiki https://kotaku.com/amazons-luna-service-removing-access-to-purchased-games-and-is-offering-no-refunds-2000686688 [[Special:Contributions/146.241.168.42|146.241.168.42]] 17:18, 10 April 2026 (UTC)

:Louis has since created an article page for this, see [[Amazon Luna revocation of third-party games]]. It needs some further work, but the basics are there. — [[User:Sojourna|Sojourna]] ([[User talk:Sojourna|talk]]) 03:19, 25 April 2026 (UTC)
