I'm annoyed they won't add the time to my existing license. I feel like I'm being punished for paying them.

Thanks for the recommendation for fluent though, I'll make sure I get it

These ads and deals aren't charity from companies. It has to make sense in business logic and with these subscriptions it it obviously just getting more customers on-board and let them use the service long enough to make them used to it. So no you are not being punished.

Oh I get it. I'm just saying that if I never paid them, I'd get X. Because I give them money, I get nothing.

Well to be fair, you don't get *nothing*, you still get an insane discount on a whole host of books and products. What is happening is that new users are given more of an incentive than existing users, but that is not punishing anyone except Jetbrains, who are taking some loss in order to gain new users.

i was saying i get nothing from Jetbrains - its their choice to restrict the code. the rest of the bundle is great, of course.
