Note really surprising, it's their whole business model. It's not a secret either, when you try to buy their printer and it costs $20 but an ink cartridge costs $50, it should be pretty obvious how this works.

We really need to bring back shame

- We need to bring back the Cartel office that beats them up.

Til I'm a leet hacker when I refill the ink cartridge.
