Save Wizard for PS4 Max advertised itself as a PS4 save file editing service that can modify your save files with cheats. On its website, it said its customers would have unlimited access to this service (https://imgur.com/a/wz5dyVt), but Save Wizard later changed the terms of the sale after the sale by making it a 5-year subscription (https://mega.nz/file/Mz4S0RoL#DW5rC92JdXW4XsJNhSgWAj3FqeumqZmUDJiCxXFqK2w). This means everybody who bought a lifetime license to use the service no longer has access to it.
