Mandatory paid upgrades are the new feudalism. I wish I had built Bill Gates’s house. “Sorry, you need to upgrade your foundation, because what was installed is no longer supported.” And if he doesn’t pay for the upgrades, his house collapses- because it’s “no longer supported”.

Nobody would buy a house with such terms and conditions, but collectively humanity has made Gates a multibillionaire by buying his software which does exactly that.

Does your house include maintenance and security upgrades forever?
