No one is circumventing (literally, "come around," e.g. bypass) anything. That would be the case if the product's firmware were being hacked/modified to not do the entitlement checks.

Instead, this is a straight up duplication of the factory hardware which enables entitlements. It's not getting around the protections, it's opening them in exactly the way they were designed to be opened.

You really don't have a clue. Those bulk of those costs are related to location, location, location (i.e. the real property they sit on), not the physical structure.

Please do continue to present examples which disprove your argument, though. It's highly amusing to watch you argue with yourself.

" I guess you don't really know the problem. "

The problem is baby-producers, who instead of being parents, depend on technology to babysit their offspring, and who substitute materiality for human interaction (here, kid, get this game and leave me alone). Well, that and they're too dumb to RTFM before handing over control of their bank account to those kids. That's OK. When they're old and feeble, the kids can practice what they've been taught by buying them a big-button remote, so they can drool alone in front of the TV, and the kids will only have to see them on holidays.

The 15 minute behavior has been documented for over 3 years. Additionally, every purchase requires confirmation. As I said, this is a parental failure. If you can't raise kids who can be trusted with a blank check, simply don't give them one. If you don't understand how the purchasing system works, don't use it, and certainly don't authorize your kid to do so.
