Satire is useless in a world where people read this and think it’s a brilliant idea. This exact thing happened with gaming micro transactions where everyday common gameplay features and customisation turned into the pile of crap all, profits-above-all-else companies include. It would not surprise me that there’s a future where this happens to cars for ridiculous features like this.

If only The Onion came up with horse armor DLC, they very well might have nipped that shit in the bud.
