I'm quite disappointed that Merlin was advertised as a last minute Black Friday (or Cyber Monday - can't remember which) deal only to Plus members where I felt pressured to purchase a Plus membership in order to buy a license before the deal was gone forever - or at least that's how it felt the way it was advertised. Only to find out after a couple of days, that not only the deal is not gone and is now available to regular membership, but also at the same price as what I purchased it as a Plus member.
The 1-star review is not for the product itself, but rather directed to Appsumo for the crooked marketing methods deployed and as a long-term customer of yours, I'm absolutely disappointed.
