This is my point. The person I replied to said OP shouldn't expect more than what they got. I pointed out this same business model has worked for decades so OP shouldn't have expected the outcome of a bricked device.
You'd be shocked to hear that people purchase radios for over $100 to listen to music they don't own.
This is fucking horrid
Good Old Games. They sell lots of old PC games that you can't find anywhere else and since many old games can't run in modern architecture, they will usually package the games up in a way that they can run without you having to run your own emulators or virtual machines.
They also sell modern games and have their own game library software similar to Steam except unlike Steam it is DRM free.
Surely rolling my eyes and sighing is a better option.
There is nuance to rule following. If you're following blindly and never question why the rule is in place, then you're a chump. If you question the rule and conclude that it's there for a good reason and follow it, you're a champ.
Some rules are arbitrary but society expects them to be followed. Going outside the bounds of these rules can cause upset, so following them is generally the safer bet. However if there's a rule in place that prevents your happiness, and breaking it has no negative consequences, just fucking do it.
