Well, is it perhaps the case that the device would cost a ton more if consumables weren't DRM'd?
I'd say the problem here is disingenuous marketing. If producers honestly communicated beforehand that it is not really a sale, but rather a sort of pay-as-you go leasing, it would be clearer for everyone.
Even HP -- for all its faults -- have started selling honest ink subscription services and unless they DRM the printers to reject after-market refills and refuse to sell unlocked ones for a premium, I would accept it as fair.
- Waterluvian 4y agoThe device costs a ton more because of DRM. It's a shell game, intended to trick people into thinking it's cheaper. They're just happy to put you on an installment plan forever. I agree that more honest marketing can help ameliorate the problem, to an extent.
- Tomdarkness 4y agoI mean you can get pretty comparable counter top dishwashers for a similar price or even less that just use regular dishwasher detergent with no DRM features.
