gestures around Products as a service in general isn't needed, but it's done anyways. Single player games don't need to be always-online and subscription-based. Same with movies. Same with cars. But in the world we live in, everything is becoming X-as-a-service. In this case, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they purposely built in a chip that would disable or otherwise limit the battery unless the ~~purchaser~~ client continued paying the subscription fee.
