Sorry but I do not see the point here.
1. The display is
VERY clear:
2. We are sending a
reminder email before the yearly billing, with "how to cancel your subscription" instructions.
3. You have
2 options to get a BGA Premium for a given period:
_ subscribe 1 month or 1 year, then immediately cancel, or
_ subscribe using Paypal (we do not use subscriptions with Paypal, only one-time payment).
4. There is no "automatic renewal of a fixed period of time": BGA Premium is a
monthly subscription, like your Internet access, your mobile phone access, your Netflix account, your favorite magazine, your local transportation system and so on. You subscribe BGA Premium, you can stop whenever you like to. This is 100% clear and there is no trap or hidden conditions.
Specifically @Liallan: I'm sorry but all my previous points are 100% true. If you really want to check this, please feel free to get a Premium membership and you'll see by yourself. As I understand, you seem to be in war to the general principle of "monthly subscription for Internet services": this is your right to be against this, but this goes far beyond Board Game Arena and I'm doubtful that this forum is the right place to discuss about this.
