I don't know what's more stupid. Heated seat subscription creators. Or the morons that actually bought such a car and then proceeded to invest more time / money bypassing it.
If you could get the car with all the bells and whistles present but disabled and it was a loss leader for the company, I would argue that it's a very ethical and socially valuable thing to do (buy the car and bypass the drm I mean). Not only do the dummies get hit where it hurts, you get some bonuses and incentivize other people to punish the dummies.
I think the point they're trying to make is that you shouldn't support a company or product like this, period.
I also get your point though. I mean, I wouldn't have bought Skyrim if the modding community wasn't a thing lol.
As Gaben has said before:
If the car is easy enough to hack, why wouldn't people buy the 'base model' and get all of the bells and wistles for next to nothing? You would download a car, amirite?
