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:

"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem,"

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?
