tl;dr: Wondershare sold Filmora licenses that they said were "lifetime" and "All software updates are completely free", and even specifically mentioned that having such a license would let you upgrade to Filmora 12 for free, but then entirely and unambiguously broke their word.

Does that not fit all the requirements for fraud?

Only if (it can be proven) they intended that all along... otherwise it's just a civil breach of contract

mIRC did this recently[0]. I understand why people feel they should be let out of a deal that no longer benefits them.
But I don't think they should be. That's business.
They should at least just make a new product and claim it's not an upgrade. Make some claim about the code base changing or something.
