    Sure… But breaking the feature for people who ALREADY bought it was absolutely the wrong call. For people who that’s the only reason they bought one (or more) that got the update before realizing what it would do basically wound up with expensive bricks as far as they were concerned, with no real recourse

    It’s user hostile no matter how you look at it. They chose to set them up as loss leaders, and that’s always a risky gamble, one which they lost.

    New sales? Sure, remove the feature, it’s costing them money (though I again refer to my earlier point about hardware we buy not actually belonging to us), but leave the systems that already have it intact.
