My understanding is that LG broke the TOS and Microsoft asked them to stop instead of penalizing them under the agreement they broke. They wouldn't do this for the average consumer and so the average consumer should jump ship to something else.
..like linux. and then be done with all this shit.
They get a cut, then.
If a company is doing something malicious to it's customers isn't there a thing already to deal with that company and protect the customers? Thought it was called the government and it exists only because the said customers pay like half of their income for that government thing to protect them.
You've mistaken this for a working democracy with proper consumer protections and actionable laws.
But yeah. Thats how it's supposed to work.
