Decent Looking theme, out of date yet fully priced as new

so much ambiguity to these companies and the themes they sell, the unrelenting push to upgrade, go pro, subscribe and sign up for sub-services. It’s deceptive and a complete turn off to wanting to give any of the companies even a penny, free isn’t free it’s paywalls, often highly masked, only to pay to take the paywall down only to find all the promises were of little reward, flat fee gets you the theme for life, 99 gets you them all for a year… but regardless once inside most of the features are redundantly inoperative still has the theme hasn’t been updated in years yet sold as if it was made and marketed yesterday, further to that new paywalls are presented as mandatory functionality is integrated to the now bought and paid for theme but core advertised features remain inoperative until you further pay x,y,z companies money too. WordPress org or com , they’re both the same, opensource software usurped by their own free giveaway of base software that itself is pretty damn useless where addons are both unclear and non-transparent to what they provide in functionality but that is so overrun by free market exploitation of the platform to endlessly barrage you with promises that the next 100 will surely get you what you need to steer you right, and no, it never is. As for the theme itself, *shrugs* it probably was pretty decent but i won’t likely find out as core functions forcing more money has soured it, being burned 3 times now, twice by this company, I’m pretty much done with this game.
