The problem - as some have hinted at above - is that LL couldn't offer technical assitance at any price, even if they wanted to.
They don't know how their products work, or things like water failing to render wouldn't creep in on an update. Worse still, they have a rather complex system of interacting servers that very likely have emergent properties which evade analysis. When confronted with a system like that people lapse into "intentional" descriptions, e.g. "It seems like the asset server wants to send something to this other thing that desires it".
Not only could LL not provide decent support at any price, no one else could either.

If they would just stop breaking stuff when they try to make improvements I'd be happy. Monkeys banging on things is a figurative phrase, I thought. I envision an update like the 3 Stooges episode when they were plumbers. Moe: "Ok I'm gonna hold the wrench.When I nod my head ,you hit it." Larry: "What did you say, Moe?". Moe: "What are you , deaf? *pokes Larry in the eyes* "I'm gonna hold the wrench. When I nod my head.....you hit it. Got me?" Curly: "Soitenly". Moe takes the wrench, nods his head, Curly hits Moe's head. Moe grabs the wrench, swings at Curly, who ducks, and hits Larry. Curly goes to hit Moe, who ducks, and hits Larry instead. Larry falls and bangs his head on the edge of the tub and gets knocked unconscious. Curly breaks the pipe and causes a flood that almost drowns Larry. WE collectively are Larry.
