Bought a license maybe 4-5 years ago because the website said that Linux support is coming very soon. It's been coming since then. Tried to sign up for the beta but didn't even get an answer. :(
It's the same idea as setting up a landing page for a product that doesn't exist and seeing if people click "pricing" or "buy now" to determine if there is a market for it.
(Sorry, don't mean to attack anyone or put too much blame, but let's call it what it is.)
To get back to our argument: By the time you said "coming soon" you didn't know if it was coming at all, so I would call that a bit of a lie.
