Yep, and precisely why I refuse to buy anything that requires an internet connection to work. I'm even wary of services that lock me in for longer than maybe 6 months. The only annual subscription I have is for my VPN.

An actual device/machine that I plan to use for years? Hell no. Offline only is a must have.
