Customers and critics alike have raked VW over the coals for its "frustrating" interiors.

    Now take away subscriptions.

    I’m looking at you, everyone.

        I say there are some fair applications of SaaS. If you use a product that requires servers to be running, paying a recurring cost for however long you need the software is fair.

        That being said, mandatory SaaS on a physical product with upfront cost is decidedly shitty. Especially when it’s a 50k car.

        SaaS is great for business-to-business products. Sucks ass for everything else.

      Companies love subscriptions, customers hate subscriptions. Subscriptions it is.

      I’d love to get a fitness band, but fuck all the subscriptions to access all their features.

      It’s impossible, just like it’s impossible to tell game companies to stop doing microtransaction.
