  Just a thought, I may be way off because admittedly I don’t know a lot about how it works - wouldn’t Ukraine have legitimately registered their SL gear? If it’s not registered by Ukraine and it’s in Ukraine, can’t they kill the uplink?

  There’s a transaction cost to processing the sale, hosting the giant download and then issuing the refund. If people organized and manipulated the system and this became a financial burden, then the policy would almost certainly change.

  About it being completely arbitrary and anti-consumer? It 100% is.

  Sony has a horrific track record of data breaches. They’re collecting and selling data about you for profit. I place that bar higher than this.

  For my own personal amusement, what else would they have to do to meet the level your personal anti-consumer bar is set at?

  This is actually a fantastic idea. How long will it take Valve to threaten account bans for doing it?

  Even if GM did actually sell something I’d want to drive, not having CarPlay would be an instant dealbreaker.

  I’m not an admin, but I do provision ms cloud licensing and have run across this question more than a few times. At the enterprise level, I’m told the copilot data is “walled off” and secure, and not harvested by MS. I have nothing to back that up, but that’s what I’m told. I’m certain if it weren’t true, I would have heard about it by now.
