      What, Elon Musk publishing a doctored video making extraordinary claims as a marketing tool? I can’t imagine it.

        The fact it’s a video game smells of Musk’s touch. Anyone else remember all the tweets he made about Tesla running games on the main monitor?

        TBH you could replace “elon musk” with “company” just as well. Unfortunately this is general behaviour that has been demonstrated more than once by companies wanting to create hype about their product.

    This is gonna end up like those people who got an implant to be able to see, and when the company went under, they lost support and their eyesight

      That’s the first thing I said when this was first posted, all those people who had the implants that enabled sight are left with no parts and no support since the company went under.

      There should be laws in place stating these companies will provide support and parts for the entire life of the users. Anything less is criminal.

        Better to mandate open hardware and software standards, so if the company goes under others can make parts or even upgrade the devices.

          If nothing else, mandate the opening of the standards must coincide with the end of support. I realize it would mean a service blackout while another company tries to pick them up, but it would be a lot better than nothing and it doesn’t hit the bottom line if a company operating now quite so much which would make it more palatable.

        I would add open plans and open source so that if anything happens with the company another company can come in and pick up support easily.
