tbf, most Consoles sold at a Loss, so Consoles would have to become more expensive if that wasn’t the case.

How dare users have control of their own hardware!

I’d rather pay more money for a freer system but that option isn’t offered. Either I’m too niche or locking users down is more valuable than raw sale profit (or both).
I’ve not bought a console since they got internet and needed updates. Been Windows-free for a while too.

If Cory Doctorow’s talk on Post US tech is accurate I suspect users may be able to take quite a bit of control back from corpos soon enough.

Accurate? Certainly. Politically Feasible? That’s another story.

Silly consumer, you don’t own anything! You’ll take your license and follow these terms.

The licence over 100 pages long, with deliberately convoluted language no one ever expects you to read. Some services even block you from accepting if you haven’t scrolled to the end, but then most give a “Skip to bottom” button!
And since most EULAs are not grounded in reality and as such unworkable, they’re pretty much just a scare tactic.
