Sir, The motive is to bury the details in the T&Cs so that you do not see what you are signing up for. Why should the site be allowed to pick your pocket when they are not providing any service? It is deceitful. A moral business would suspend taking payments during the months they are not providing a service....wouldn't you agree? At the very least they should email you to warn you that this is the case....Well I think scam is a stretch but it is a bit daft that they will still charge you a monthly fee when there are no games being streamed, I'll grant you that.
Thanks for reminding those people who may have otherwise forgotten to now cancel their monthly subscriptions. I'm sure you may have helped a few people here to avoid a needless charge.
