Was just a dopey idea in the first place. Nobody replaces a mouse because it’s lacking software features, they replace a mouse when the switches wear out.
Which is planned obsolescence anyways.
It’s not a dopey idea, it’s an enshitification one, and one we will see again because there are no consequences.
Logitech will have subscription hardware, guaranteed. They’ll just go back to the drawing board on how to market anti-consumer practices better.
And similarly are antitrust regulations have done nothing to prevent companies like Logitech from just acquiring all of their competitors and then doing this anyways once there is no more competition. And even using potential competitors into bankruptcy before they can actually compete.
It’s always the same thing.
Corpo push dog-shit idea and receives backlash.
Pull back for a moment, and goes a little bit softer than the last and see if it sticks.If it sticks, it becomes the new standard for every similar corpo.
Rinse and repeat.
Just look at when Bethesda tried to sell a horse armor for Skyrim. Now it’s the norm.
