Alright. Go for it. I’m just not gonna buy your shit. I am exited to see how this will end for you.

it will probably 'end' pretty well for them. you'd be surprised at how many home users just 'go with it' because they don't know any better.. and a lot of businesses only buy 'genuine' consumables anyway.

Probably pretty well given some companies and people will be some silly little tech sluts for the convenience of not looking up better alternatives for 10 minutes, and likely paying a bit more upfront.

That said I hope there's gonna be some printer piracy
