I think you're mistaken - people won't pay for something that constantly breaks.

If I paid $2/month for Carbonite (which I never would, Jame's guides are great), I'd expect it to work. If Blizzard came out, like they just did, and said - you can't charge, I sure as hell wouldn't pay for anything - you're just asking for it to break.

Even if Carbonite continues to charge, why would anyone pay? Blizzard will constantly block Carbonite, Carbonite will then have to re-code to get around the block, and Blizzard will block it again. You'll be paying for an addon that probably won't work 90% of the time. Who in their right mind would pay for that??

Good riddance to the pay addons.
