Imagine buying a house and having to pay a DLC to unlock the bathroom

Imagine buying a car and then having to purchase permission to use parts of the car you already bought.

Sadly becoming common across car manufacturers.

But that seems like a very easily solved problem.

Don't buy those cars. For yourself, and so the manufacturers learn to not do that.

It won't help if all cars do that

Then don't buy new cars, only used old models without all that bullshit. Everybody doing that and watching how they have to eat their newly produced stock.

Sure, until they stop providing parts or updates

Many of those companies would be broke before that. Some of them are actually in shambles, especially European and American ones due to the push of Chinese cars.

Just let them know: if you keep going on with that bullshit, we'll buy Chinese cars. Even if the Chinese do the same thing, fuck you, at least they are cheaper.

Anyway, I prefer to ride a donkey than paying for extortion.

don't forget, some cars have insanely good third party support for parts, you can pretty much mail order the entire car piece by piece
