    Okay, I too could afford to pay for your OneDrive subscription, but I’m not going to because - frankly - I don’t care about your cloud storage needs.

    The fact they’re technically capable of providing you something for free has nothing to do with whether they are legally or morally obligated to do so.

    You’re not the centre of the universe, sorry.

      It’s not free. They’re also completely capable of including it in a package or bundle. I don’t understand what’s difficult about that way of thinking. You buy a computer which has the operating system so you’re paying for the hardware and software. So why not provide cloud storage included in that? Why am I the asshole with that way of thinking?

        They don’t do that, because as a service, it continues to cost them money to provide it as time goes on.

        That’s not their business model, and acting like it’s equivalent to ransomware for them to not use the business model you’re demanding they switch to is absurd.

        If you want to keep your cloud services, pay the subscription cost, it’s that simple.
