How stupid do they really believe the customer is? Apparently quite a bit. Do they really expect the customer to believe that if they don't subscribe they aren't buying something already factory installed just because it isn't turned on?...lol

It's worse than double-dipping. The expense for something you've already paid for once would have no end in sight.

The mfrs already openly refer to it as a "new revenue stream" with subscriptions. The old version of revenue, selling a product to the customer who would own it, just isn't good enough anymore...lol

I'm sure we'll see this new shell-game-double-talk-intentional-confusion over and over again to slip in these never before seen subscriptions as some sort of savings...lol

LOL. Very stupid.
