I used to get excited about these promotions, until I realized they are all only for NEW customers.
If you ever gave Jetbrains money, they don't care about you anymore.

Why not just create a new account?

I guess I have this imaginary expectation that I don't have to do stuff like one-time credit cards and fake addresses and stuff to BUY software?

I know its less and less a thing these days and I should suck it up, but like why not just pirate it if I'm skulking around like a criminal?

by the way, Thanks for posting it - my bitterness for jetbrains shouldn't take away from its being a great deal for new users.
