Is € 251.88 the estimated loss in revenue? I would like to say that it only makes sense if you assume the user will be on the platform either way, instead of just not paying and leaving. However, my experience with others makes me believe they will take whatever option to get to what they want.
I think it's a situation for policy but, at least here in the US, our policy makers aren't in the ethical or learned position to be effective.
What I'm saying is, the boat has holes and I'm concerned.
Nope they make a bit more.
