They probably yoinked it from 4download (for free) and are trying to resell it. A disgrace for these seas😤

This is like the people who repackage and rebrand LibreOffice and then resell it for $10 on the Windows Store to gullible users.
And the worst part about that is that it doesn't even break the law.
It can be argued that the libreoffice dude is providing a service. If you were deeply invested in the windows ecosystem, with most of your apps coming from the store and you also have like 20 windows computers, buying it for $10 is totally worth it.
1 click install and auto updates being the advantage. Not to mention a centralized way to make sure all your machines are running the same version.
It's not like it's a subscription or per machine license.
The Windows Store limits the number of machines that you can install paid software on to 10. If you are managing a lot of computers you'd be better off with some actual management software or at least a package manager like Chocolatey. Then you can push software to your machines, run updates, or uninstall stuff whenever you like.
Literally every use case you just said can be automated using winget, for free.
Windows store apps don't even update half the time if you don't open the store and manually update it yourself
Those repackages of libreoffice packages are actually official.

These versions are free software (as in open source) but there's a small charge to cover the effort of putting software in the app stores, and to help develop the software (and build our communities).
Inclusive of more than 10 softwares?!?
more than 10. that's a lot of softwares!
Woah, only USD 12 for a GENUINE fake cracked copy someone first downloaded from a torrent?
I mean, if you are a designer that needs it but doesn't know how to download and crack stuff, 12$ might be worth that time.
I have no idea how the law works in India, but I wonder if a small business could save money by just pointing Adobe at these people when they eventually get a lawsuit threat?
Nepal actually
What does rs. stand for? I just checked and nepal uses the nepalese rupee which is normally abbreviated to NPR, but rs. ?
