I'm not going to buy into a subscription model for something I've already paid for. This subscription model crap is complete bullshit.
We even tried to do it with heated seats recently. Like install heated seats in your car, but disable them in software. It's crazy that companies think they can get away with this.
I think there's a massive difference between unlocking a feature that's already there and requires no maintenance and a cloud-based service that demands 24/7 uptime and constant developer support, as well as ongoing feature development
While I agree with you, they are 💯 going to get away with it, because your average consumer just doesn't care.
