If You Think Gaming Microtransactions Are Bad, Mercedes Charges You $1200 To Drive Fast

Microtransactions in games don't really bother me. If it's taking away something tedious or just letting game players do something faster, no big deal. 

Yet imagine you paid a small fortune, probably at a premium since flag-waving capitalists running car companies make sure government won't let you buy a car without a dealer (car dealers love socialism when it makes them rich) only to find out your fancy electric car has features - like acceleration - that some grifter didn't tell you would cost another $1,200 per year. 

Welcome to Mercedes Microtransactions.

And it will work, because if you believe electric cars are cleaner than conventional cars you're not just in the 1%, you're the 0.6% - and even more elite if you can afford Mercedes.
