2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.

EU needs to start targeting this DLC for cars bullshit.
I will never buy a car that pulls this kind of crap. Ever.
I'd sooner move to a more bikable city.
...until there are no cars without DLC
"I'll just buy a used car"
They'll just find a way to add DLC to used cars once all the new cars are fully monetized
Well, shit! Walking it is, then. Unless they charge per step!
Good luck on that. The EU has an incredibly powerful Automobile lobby. Many companies, particularly in germany, are eyeing "DLC cars" hungrily.
Doesn't BMW also do the heated seats DLC?
Yeah. And adaptive cruise control is something you have to pay 900 Euro extra via the in car shop on some models. Models you already paid 50k Euro and more for.
Your dystopia is old, my friend.
We heard your cries of desperation about the high upgrade prices!
So we changed them! Instead of 900$ for the seat heater you will pay 17€ but monthly! Still freezing? Steering wheel heater for 9€! Want to update your maps, because you do not want to use your phone like a peasant? 59€! Do you want to be informed about accidents in real time? 69€!
These prices are real btw.
