        …until there are no cars without DLC

        “I’ll just buy a used car”

        They’ll just find a way to add DLC to used cars once all the new cars are fully monetized

      Good luck on that. The EU has an incredibly powerful Automobile lobby. Many companies, particularly in germany, are eyeing “DLC cars” hungrily.

          Yeah. And adaptive cruise control is something you have to pay 900 Euro extra via the in car shop on some models. Models you already paid 50k Euro and more for.

            Your dystopia is old, my friend.

            We heard your cries of desperation about the high upgrade prices!

            So we changed them! Instead of 900$ for the seat heater you will pay 17€ but monthly! Still freezing? Steering wheel heater for 9€! Want to update your maps, because you do not want to use your phone like a peasant? 59€! Do you want to be informed about accidents in real time? 69€!

            These prices are real btw.
