Ok. You do you.
Be ready when companies try to pull this off with "ah, this product you bought is now unsupported. Can't do anything with it because it HAS to be connected to our servers over the internet. Teehee, thanks for your money!". If they can get away with it in video games, they may eventually get away with it in other industries.
Slippery slope fallacy.
Car companies offering embedded upgrades as softlocked addons or subscriptions is also down that route. It's where the money's at so it will transcend industry boundaries. They will try to hide behind "digital" everything to try to escape legislation as long as possible.
Again, I can't nor do I want to force you to sign this.
