The popular streaming service Plex has announced a significant price increase for its Lifetime Pass, which has left fans in the UK and around the world reeling. The new price of $750 (approximately £580) is a far cry from the original cost of $129.
According to Plex's official blog, the price hike is intended to 'align with the value of our service'. However, the decision has been met with widespread discontent from fans who feel that the increase is unsustainable.
The Lifetime Pass is a popular option among Plex subscribers, offering a one-time payment for a lifetime subscription to the service. However, with the price increase, many fans are now questioning the value of the pass.
Despite the backlash, Plex has confirmed that the price hike will affect both existing and new subscribers. This means that anyone who has already purchased the Lifetime Pass will see their value decrease significantly, while new subscribers will face the new, higher price.
The impact of the price hike on Plex's subscriber base remains to be seen. However, it is likely to be a significant blow to the service's popularity, particularly among fans who feel that the increase is excessive.
