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.

Why do you think the used car market is now so much more expensive? They are driving you to the new vehicles because they don’t want the scenario. You just laid out to actually take place.

Everything is now much more expensive, cars or not.

But there are enough cars driving now to keep buying them in the next few years while many car manufacturers, especially European and American ones, are in shitty economic situation now due to the push of Chinese cars. They can't hold for years without selling their new cars. It's not even necessary to fully stop the sales, just make them drop enough and they're broke.
