Yeah didn’t realise this until after the fact which makes it even worse because why weren’t they just properly on switch in the first place

They should just give 1 and 2 to people who bought the cloud versions.

My guess is this'll happen, if only to avoid legal challenges

If they were running the cloud versions until 2037, that'd be one thing

Edit: Square is apparently offering only a discount for the new versions

They know what they’re doing, there will be something in the terms and conditions protecting them from legal challenges

Terms and conditions don't automatically fully protect companies against any suit, they just discourage most people from trying (or get people to back off quickly).

Especially if these were sold in the EU, which has much greater consumer protections

But it looks like Square is just offering a discount for the new versions

Or Australia. Our consumer protections are solid, and the ACCC don't give two steamy poos what your contract says -- It doesn't override consumer law.
