You obviously dont get it.
It's actually worse the better they hold up.

This is just revealing how much of a crud modern companies and manufacturing is.
Things are actually made to self destruct, and when they do, you're totally at the mercy of the company making it, if it still even exist.

Manipulation forcing people buying their product is common. Just look at philips hue.

One of my first post here were that the community would lean heavily on manufacturers sticking with artnet and windows compatible systems.

Stern spike system is in the shortrun a cashgrab and in the long run destructive as hell.

Which one?
You mean that spare parts will be harder to get, the more seldom things break?
Isn't that self evident?

Ofc reliability is a good thing, but the more rare and the more reliable, the harder it will be getting spare parts.

Oh, sorry for late answer. Lost the thread.
My point was that for an old game, the more rare it is for stuff to break, the harder it will be getting parts.

You might feel, it's great to have stuff that almost never break, but when they do, the harder it will be getting replacement parts.

I'm a physician btw and it's obviously the same in my field. Really rare conditions, get no love from the medical industry, since there's no money in it.
